It's Always Society

It's Always Society

A Poem by Riley Bray
"

~~~

"
Fine, be blinded by societal rules,
Let them make your decisions,
But I won't be with you
Because I'm not gonna give in.
What's the use?

They're trying to stitch our lips together,
Keep us silenced while they work,
They're digging their hooks in us,
They want to make us hurt.
If I don't fight back won't we be stuck like this forever?

The monsters make me feverish
With their gruesome, gory grins,
they're disgusting, grimy creatures,
Who have hidden well their abundant sins.
Would you also destroy them with your last breath?

It's always society,
They've slaughtered teenagers most of all;
Many have lost the battle,
Because they felt too weak and small.
Would it solve anything if I were to hang since it's in me?

I'm chipping off the pieces of me
That I don't need.
Fiction killed by vengeful fantasy.
Memory eroding away, words slipping off my tongue,
For I swear to be a model to the young ones.
Heart turned black, eye shine lost,
Just as I will lose our societal values,
As my soul turns to ash and dust.

We're all manifestations of a fragment of societal rule,
Break through the blindfold together with me,
And fall into a reborn world...

Make 
Me
Your
Hearth.

If ever you were to decide to pursue literary opportunities I'm very positive that you'd pen enough to fill a poetry book with just the poems pertaining to the flawed structure of society. Great poem, you'd make a great activist if ever you decide to become one.
