All Together

poem by KC writer Joni Wilson aka Amenimity

Choose yourself

Or loose your soul

Choose what you love

Or loose what you know

 

If only it were true

If only it could be

That I could be that girl

In all of my dreams

 

Shielding from their insecurities

Their group divides

Each noticing loss of imitation

All falling beneath conformity

 

Where's my talent

That's my wage

Silent stage

I'm out of place

 

It's all about wrong and right

Black and white

Short and long

Dark and light

The world has a pulse and a point of view

 

It's all about ugly and appealing

Fat and thin

Touching and feeling

Loosing to win

The world has a soul and a strong sense of humor

 

It's all about love and hate

Hips and eyes

Life and fate

Truth and lies

The world is still listening to the silence of pride

 

There's no sense to innocence

And no reason with why

There is no sense to logic

And logic is prime

 

I thought I could cure myself from freezing rain

But even after trying

I'm still the same

All the beauty I've seen in this life

Means nothing without a face

Means nothing without love

Love is a strong and hurtful sting

 

My hatred is spoken with a smile

Make it all in a pile

I'll trip again

To make a friend

But they only last a while

 

Dilated eyes

Hopeless lies

Broken nails

Perfection fails

I need a ride home

 

Tell me softly how to hate

Ends up a degree of rape

I'll have revenge

Everything's a trend

 

We'll never sleep the same

We'll never laugh the same

We'll never live the same

We'll never ever be the same

 

I'm a princess, I'm a queen

I died somewhere in between

 

Don't you want me I will love you

Don't you want me I will hold you

Don't you want me I will destroy you

 

In the morning

Leave me

In the evening

Forget me

In the morning

Wishing more of you

In the evening

Wanting more from you

 

After all the world is nothing but black decay

Live to make money is the only way

 

Nothing is pure

Freedom has died

We want with our eyes

Our souls are unsure
