Company

A Poem by Me

By cheyenne Published 7 years ago 2 min read

they say misery loves company. I guess that's what happens when you feed off of other people's insecurities, but don't worry boo, because they are feeding off of yours too.

in a world full of hustle, everybody got that game, I guess that's why love don't even taste the same.

Because everybody out here is worried about making that coin, but it don't make no sense we put so much into that grind that who we are becomes in understatement.

They say money is the only thing you need to survive but I've seen people with a lot of money take their own life and wish they were not alive, but I guess that is just how we thrive.

Off of other people's disabilities, off of other people's insecurities, off of other people's mistakes that we forget who we are and just pick a role to take.

Because we live in a Society that would rather moan about what the country needs other than get out there and do it. We live in a mindset of someone else will always do it, that's me included.

We need a change of life, a change of pace before we lose everything trying to run this race that has no finish line, just a waste of space in the government's time.

Because they are too busy running around the problems too, to see the truth,

so instead of us seeing what the dangers are, we have a debate over the fact that trump served hamburgers instead of caviar, because for some reason we turn a blind eye to the self-destructiveness of who we are.

Now I am not a political activist, I just want to activate the world I was told I was promised, because I don't want anymore people getting shot because of who they are, or they choose to love, or what they choose to believe, everybody already fought this type of hate to be free.

They say misery loves company and I guess thats what's happening to the world sitting in front of me.

We love to create hostility but sit here and say the world needs more tranquility but we don't know how to get one so just live with another,

Letting our kids see that it's easier to hate instead of love one another.

But that's the company we choose to run, we are the C.E.O's of our own destruction.
