Simply Listen
nothing will slow my rage
the heart that beats in me
craves to feed on excitement
sinful activities are poisoning
but god damn they’re addictive
underneath the starlight
I think about everything falling down
and that’s just the dark side of humanity
the part people don’t want to talk about
I try to be cheerful
but some things pain me
everyone has an opinion
on what I do and who I'm with
why the fuck does it matter?
let my words be your peace
but everyone wants to sink in deeper
shit like that makes me want to give in
I’m a book of stories
some real and some fake
but I’m not ready to tell all
I feel people don’t really care to hear it
they rather assume my life
dismiss my words with judgment
and not listen to… yeah, simply listen

"I’m a book of stories" > that is beautifully said!
Many people are very judgmental and have an opinion without even knowing the whole story...
There are also many people who care, more than you know! I'm one of them :-)

Yeah, I feel I get judged a lot. It seems the more I try to be a good person the worse people judge. And if I try to just stay to myself, then people just make up shit. But I know I can't stop people's BS. It just gets me down sometimes Thanks for caring, my friend 🤗

Yeahhh...I just need you to go ahead and write a book of your poems because my reading list is turning into it anyway!!! 😎😎 Gosh, as i read this...my heart is pained because i know the exhaustion of feeling everything...words to colour..colour to words...to emotion to tears to smiles then at the end of giving everyone what you feel to make them see who you are, your left standing with empty hands and they never even granted you the time to look up and notice you were talking to them..ok...i need a drink and a nap now. If completely lost you on my interpretation of your ink forgive me...but i felt it nonetheless in my own way...and thats what matters!😂 Beautiful DC!

I wrote a poem book when I was younger, lol. Well like 20's younger. I tried to write another one a few years ago, but never completed it. Not many people are into poetry books, especially depressing ones, lol. I'm so grateful for you enjoying my poetry 🤗 I am greatful for even getting a read so it's awesome to have my poetry on your list. Thanks 😁

It's hard to find those willing to just listen and
equally so not to let the rest get to you.
I think a lot of us can relate. Great job expressing it
and thanks for an enjoyable read...

'sinful activities are poisoning
but god damn they’re addictive' < aren't they just
'that’s just the dark side of humanity
the part people don’t want to talk about' < some of us really do
Brilliant write DC ...don't worry about people and their negative opinions if they're just judging books by their covers or only caring enough to barely scratch the surface then they are missing out big time!

They are so very addictive. Life i feel always needs a balance of good and bad :-) And yes, some of us do talk about the dark parts. Not always easy to do so. I try not to let things get to me. Its just when it happens over and over it brings me down. I feel like more and more i just keep to myself because of that. I like to be an open person but you also open yourself to hurt. But also yes, it is truly their lose :-)
