Humanity

How the world sometimes seems to me.

My tears are the lead on the paper,
It's how I can keep silent,
But still be heard,
How I keep from being as violent,
I'm angry at the world,
But truly what for,
What bad has happen here before,
    Now in the distance I see a plan,
It my plan made not just for me,
But The plan of life and how it is to be,
And the things I'm not allowed to see,
Are what I desire,
Without knowing I grow angry like a raging fire,
    My life has no point,
Sometimes I beg to end it now,
In the ocean the waves help me drown,
And when I'm found,
All the people will gather around,
Wondering why I hated being alive,
Because to truth of humanity I opened my eye,
And seeing that made me cry,
I couldn't take it so to get peace I let myself die.

Please dont think of me as a depressed person I mean this is how i can be at times. But I truly am proud of this piece and I hope you like it. I know it has kind of a darker meaning but its how I have grown to feel about the world besides the few I truly let into my life.Also I know I have highlighted again I dont know I guess its kinda my thing:)...Enjoy

I feel that 100%. It is very depressive, but to be honest, thats the way I like to write, and the things I like to read, and the films I like to watch and the songs I like to listen to...
There's something about it that feels extremely honest and true...
When I see a perfect world, I'll write about it, until then... I write like this.

I like how you question why theres this hatred within you, then you answer where it came from. A lot of deep emotions do seem to have appeared from nowhere, but theres always a catalyst... be it what keeps us back, the things we cannot see, do, be... to humanity in general... totally misanthropy.

This is an amazing poem. It has so much depth to it. It circles around the flaws of humanity, right?
