yet they think we have to be
these hopes and aspirations
meant to be good
but have spoiled
and turned into greed
pride
Getting help is considered a burden
pride and stubbornness clouds the eyes
that is fixated on the young
one fault
and we as people are considered
'mistakes in their life"
we beg
and plead for forgiveness
but instead
guilt
shame
blame
is put on our shoulders
we work
we realize
mistakes happen
and we learn
we try
but it's not enough
to satisfy the hunger
of the elder
who wants good
but exhibits
the bitter pessimism
exhausted this is
redundant
heart breaking
suffocating
the brain starves
the heart starves
how it cries
itself to sleep
embedding the screams
and guilt into the mind
letting it echo the
hatred
and rage
for hours on end
the heart cries
how it longs
for the love and warmth from
the people it cares
the people it loves
escape
the word sounds reasonable
but does it resolve the storm?
where does one go?
