Confined to a life
fueled by catastrophic dependencies.
So many repetitive situations
guided by instant gratification.
Surrounded by people
you’re liable to be victimized
by at any time.
Stabbing you in the back,
leaving you out to dry.
Their quality of
character, loyalty, and love
are so potent and toxic
it’ll break your heart.
So consistently, you plead insane
full of confusion and loneliness.
Steadily blaming God and
asking why me?
Constantly thinking
you’ll never get it right.
Crying yourself to sleep at night
in the midst of it all.
Never once fathoming the thought
you’re nothing more than
a piece of a puzzle.
Doing all you can
to level a game
you fail especially in.
The ones you idolize
and call your friends
are the first ones to cross you
and bring your game to an end.
Separate yourself, they’re
not your friends.
You uphold a quality
of character that is too genuine.
Just find your Zen
and avoid the pen.
Then open your eyes and realize
the abilities you withhold
to capitalize and maximize
and stand with dignity through
your harshest times.
Knowing in your heart
your future’s bright
and you’ll always be fine.
