why we are the way we are

why we are the way we are

A Poem by isiah_holmes
"

Do you understand?

"

 

Plastic lives, rubber dolls

decrepit music, dust falls

All of this will be a memory soon

As subtle as a grain of sand in a dune

From beyond our senses, beyond our perception

Our hearts, our minds, tonight make one last confession

They call us damaged goods

We wouldnt want to fit in if he could

Choose this life again? I think we would

 

We could teach you many things about life

What its like to be completely alone in times of strife

Or how sharp a killer should keep his knife

The worlds on fire

You called us all liers

So we start to conspire

When your faith becomes more dire

 

And so you sit back in your chair

Knowing life is unfair

Its like a preschool dare

Trying to make your political masters care

 

So we'll all run away

What more could i say

If you conform its ok

We all wake up to the same day

Whether you "I' or your "Nay"

Toss all your hate in a bay

I'll end now if i may...

 

But before i go

I want you all to know

Rebel children make this so

Because of you we only grow

What more should i show?

 

Just because we're different

Dosent mean we're not the same

We're just boys without pasts

Or Teenage girls without names

We're made to grow up real fast

And reality? Well it got up and it came.

 

We all have a story

A voice to be heard

If we laugh please dont worry

We may not be just like you

But we're human, and we stick togther like glue.

I dont think you would even sue

So ending is what i'll do

Something tells me you all get the clue.
