None Existent Equality.
I suffer with depression at the best of times, however due to a lot of lack of communication from outside forces I have noticed a lot of none existent equality, its something I have been aware of for a long time.
No one will truly know the tears I shed, the fear that haunts me like a shadow lurking behind. For the foot steps I tread lightly into the sand, quickly swallowed whole by the waves of depression that crash over me.
It's an ever battering war that leaves me in shades of black, blue and purple. My back crippled and broken from the weight of incomprehensible illogical demands by those who do not listen only seeing their way as the right way, refusing to listen to the voices of others, refusing the answer questions for the safety of others and to give a piece of mind to comfort.
I'll shed my tears in silence of darkness, no one will see it happen and no one will know. Most will not see the blade while a stream of red liquid glitters down, pouring out the freshly open wound deeply cut.
I finally feel pain that is no longer contained to just the inside, the wound that weeps no different from tears that shed from red weeping eyes, for skin is skin and words are words.
This illogical demand of those in power and control, tailored up in monkey suits with their fat greedy fingers, sticky with the blood of those they cripple. They do not care, they will never care for as long as their pockets lined with gold it does not effect them, for they are taking the bronze from all else leaving nothing but dirt, but even that now costs.
I'll remain sat in the darkness, weeping from the horrors of day to day life with broken bones from this illogical pressure. Equality? Such a laughable joke, for equality will never truly exist for there will sadly always been those in rich power control, and those below that line will be nothing and forced to remain that way.
For it does not matter what skin tone someone is to them they see use all the same, slaves. If your a women you will be less than men in most cases, if your a single mother or a single father trying to make ends meet trying to be a parent and keep a roof over your children's head, they will treat you as if you are not good enough because your children will come first, not their job, demanding you to work all hours leaving you unable to be their truly for your child, and shun you if your on benefits because the low amount of money they give you is not enough to pay for that roof or the food to survive. If your sexual bent is one thing or another they will shun you again, treating you as if your not right, not normal.
But what is normal? Surely normal is what everyone makes of it, surely normal would be respect, compassion, and determination? Not judgement of skin, sexual preference and whether someone is a parent married or not let alone if they are a women or a man, surely it is illogical to shun anyone trying hard, fighting each day to get through the day but shunned for who they are, for no one is truly "normal" because everyone is special everyone is unique but its odd how quickly greed give those the "right" and "normal" views of how everyone should be.
Everyone has a right, everyone should be equal, but sadly no one truly is because there will always be those uneducated to respect someone difference, someone's hardships, someone's willing effort to try.
