The World
My heart is going crazy and beating so fast
I feel like I’m about to crash on the floor,
I’m on the floor and looking and looking
there’s no place to call home.
Mass pain, no gain I’m riled up it’s all a game
with evil characters and evil people in the world.
How can anyone sleep when they shot someone’s little girl?
The mother goes to the funeral and cries
out
“Why?”
When you see someone looking for the truth
The truth in their eyes when your walking and get
Hurt
And beg and cry people will be looking and
they’ll walk by leaving you to die
Then you
die.
Then when you hear it you start to cry going
Depression, misdirection, non-confession
You’re too busy crying you don’t notice your face is
all wet and you push your loved ones out of the
way
And you start to pray, your coming back from
the misdirection then the next thing you know
your spilling confessions but then you start to
Cry
And you slowly go back to depression then you
Realize
Your god’s creation and your resisting temptation, soon your finally free your suffers
have
Ended
Most relentless after all that resisting
Your living the life your given this is me
and after all of this I feel truly free

Hey S–
What a powerful piece! Amazing rhythm, alliteration, assonance, and beat! I would love to use this piece in class as we study poetry! Let’s chat!
Love, Dr. CB
