 Enter Thy Mind

EXIST


As I think
All alone
With no one around
My mind travels
From one side
To the other
To the past
And regrettably
To the future

To be honest
The future
My future
Scares the sh*t out of me
Knowing what I know
What I will do
The concepts
Of this life
Confuse the hell out of me

You spend
All your life
Training
For something
That you're
Going to be
Forged into
A mold
A mold called society

Then you
Apply to
Jobs
Ant they judge you
Tell you
if your good enough
For their standards
Even though you trained all you life
For this one moment
You just might not make it

Why do we do this
Torture ourselves
For what reason
Do we live by this sorrow

For the money
That only exists
In our world
In our culture
Its value is put before
Everything and everyone

Being sold and bought
Then thrown away
For a later date
We fight
We forgive
Then the cycle begins again

Well I don't want to be
Stuck in this culture
Where colored paper
Is more valued than the lives
We place it on
Wasting it
Killing ourselves
For something so
So worthless

The future
Honestly it scares me
Raised and bred
To believe
That money
Is everything
That there is no room
For humanly emotions
Not anymore
Emotions don't exist
The human heart Doesn't Exist
The human soul DOESEN'T exist
That I don't exist

Is it bad that
I don't want to be
A doctor
A lawyer
A mechanic
A house wife
In the NBA
In a magazine
On television
Or all that fad

I don't want to be
Just an artist
Or known for
What I can gain
I want to hold on
I want to fight
For myself
And figure out
Just exactly
Who and what
I truly am

This life
Is hard enough
Without
All of that pressure
Placed upon us all
Is it bad that
I just want
To simply exists?
