The Virus Inside

All the time you have been trying, trying to sit up straight put on a face finish tying your shoe lace to win the race trying not to trip trying not to get laughed at attacked for being a drag life hasn’t been going good you felt like you have never been loved watching a porno at ten year sold trying to get a load off cant even stop you are trying to get to the top you trip fall down hit the ground smack getting laughed at because you couldn’t even last you go to a party to have a blast people getting high to stay alive people going to the library looking at the city’s archives looking at how many people attempting suicide people starting to murder because it hurt so much inside couldn’t even get the thought of revenge out of there head people thinking their better off dead cant even sleep there in bed getting scared of the day ahead people trying to smile they know it is fake they try to look cool in school lots of people know its bull people walking the halls popularity making all the calls now people changing their mind trying to be kind trying to unwind this stuff just doesn’t happen in America it happens in Russia Africa all across the globe and while you eat that one last piece of pie a kid just want a drink so he doesn’t die a 97 year old women been malnourished since the age of nine women steady trying to get an abortion because she doesn’t think its time the same for the guy he thinks its all lies another single mother trys to keep her five year old son alive she goes to the streets a hundred people walk by until a a guy walks up and thinks its his lucky night knowing he has a wife and that very night their relationship goes sky high the kids are wondering why mom and dad get a divorce the cycle keeps going by it doesn’t stop there as I walk down this street Ihear this loud pop I hit the ground look around someone got shot awomen goes out saying her sons name rushing to his side starting to pray and hoping to God I don’t get it why there is always two sides good and the bad I don’t think its right both sides are looking for the light but they keep to the fight its not war out there but inside the enemy isn’t different but not the same it hold no religion or race it’s a battle on the inside with our minds I cant believe we are so blind ever since the beginning if only we band together I know it will take time i believe it is possible to destroy the virus inside
