Sorry For My Outburst

nothing ever seems to get better

By Isabella WalkerPublished about a year ago 1 min read

I step through the broken glass

remains of my anger

glimmering on the floor

------

I just can’t take it anymore

the madness we’re living in

------

How can those puppets in the TV

keep spewing that trash

without talking about a cure

without a way to change

------

If actions speak louder than words

then why aren’t we running

no sprinting

to help all the screaming, crying, dying

innocent animals, people, planet

that we’re killing slowly yet violently

------

Seeing it again & again & again

drives me crazy

------

Which brings me back to my mess on the floor

blood dripping through my toes

hands shaking with anger

crying tears for my favorite animal

& their black-and-white masks

ready for the war of the human race

always and forever trying to take them down

------

Seems like a common theme here though

so I'll just clean up the glass

of my smashed TV

wipe the blood off my feet

------

And try to do something

that will make me feel better about living
