Clairvoyance

I had the gift of clairvoyance
But with privilege comes debt
The world of hungry faces met with me and asked me for meaning
They were desperate for the truth
But I wasn't god
I sent them away and they fought back
They called me selfish and greedy
But the truth cannot be given out so lightly
Of course only I knew that
The clueless masses harassed me and called me god
They prayed to no avail as I did not change
I would not tell them
The price for knowing the truth is hatred
The hatred of those that are jealous
I was not god so my heart began to crumble and tear
As my sanity began to break I stood among the crowd and shouted lies
I told the misfortunes that they would soon reach happiness
I told the fortunate of misery to surprise them in the future with relief
But as the future rolled around
They called me liar
They doubted and kicked at me
I laid in a pool of depression
I gave people hope and they repaid me with death
I reached up to the sky
I saw the blue bird mocking me from afar
My future was told to be miserable
And I knew it would end like this
I had the rights to my fate
And I was tied down by a silver string
And I rotted to the core

Hmm... I've never thought about it that way. It must be hard, being clairvoyant. Confused on what to give the people - the truth and the hatred that comes with it, or a lie and the eventual realization of the deception. No wonder she pushed the truth seekers away at first.

I have to say, I really enjoyed this one. It's very descriptive and impressive. I'll have to check out more of your poems.
