Listen to the cruel world, and salt the earth behind you.

it’s ok to be angry and vengeful, feel your feelings. write a poem.

By g.m.t Published 5 years ago 1 min read

A new fog, has your mind clogged

unwavering apathy where warmth and empathy belonged.

Some place underneath,

lies what you do to keep yourself involved

to this, you cling.

Some of these things, are even charming.

Call yourself an artist.

Search for the “you” you and everyone else knew-

because right now, the only solace

is this mist that keeps you at a distance.

I guess it’s easier not to pine for something you’ve never known to exist.

It’s all been a gift because now you know there’s another side over this high fence.

All these years, too many people have handed you the shears.

What would anyone expect? a parting hug and kiss?

That’s when it clicks,

no more dragging through mud and sticks.

Why allow so many people you’ve loved,

to do you wrong?

why not save yourself the trouble of having to become

what everyone calls “strong”?
