Who says I wasn’t one of you? Spun to bruise, blood runs to sooth the webs of the dead

 I just think for myself, a sabercat, and that made me dangerous, but I was bred for bad weather

 

 

You don’t have to please everyone around you, it doesn’t matter, it's not my pleasure

 

 

Instrumental recollection, recolours the loveless and slumbers in my brother's breath

Slept past the depths of death

 

 

In the end, all it takes is just one more pound to break a man’s back

 

 

But you need that weight on your back to become stronger, every kilo, to chase the dream of being unbreakable

 

 

To feel invincible

 

 

So chase that dream, into infinity

 

 

Into insanity

 

 

Into a slow death

 

 

And call your corpse unbroken

 

 

When your ashes scatter like the pitter patter of the rain, as your hopes are shattered like collateral damage again

 

 

And suffer until your less than nothing but not enough

 

 

Suffer until your life is lifeless

 

 

And your vibrance dilates

 

 

Into a cold virus of stubborn silence

 

 

Suffer until you become a masochist

 

 

And the world the epidemic of sadistic

 

 

At the opportunistic affliction on your predictable condition

 

 

You just wouldn’t listen

 

 

And your tears will glisten, and no one will hear you cry

 

 

And no one will see you struggle

 

 

And no one will watch you fall

 

 

Because that’s what it means to be strong

 

 

And the bullies who made you strong will vomit the want to calm themselves

 

 

“Don’t hate yourself, I don’t hate you, he wouldn’t blame you, get over it snowflake”

 

 

They will say, as they live another day

 

 

And the world will roll over and go back to sleep, under the covers of another oblivious night, without you

 

 

And the days will pass on the asphalt of your passion abashed with laughter after this disaster, despite you

 

 

And no one will weep, as the days creep forward, no one will cry in sorrow, for you

 

 

And despite it all, you weren’t wrong, but now you're gone, along with your angst

 

 

Because you were a man of hope

 

 

Because you were God’s own

 

 

Because you were strong, all along, all alone

I very seldom reply to reviews, but I promise I read EVERY single one. I look forward to my next review, because it helps me learn. Even if it's just one word, I promise, I will be ecstatic to have the chance to hear what you have to say. Whenever you write something about my poems, or the themes of my poems, or criticize me it is not in vain. I will listen, learn and be thankful.
