HARD
life is hard
death is hard
I'm hard
these times are hard
why is everything so fucking hard?
i'm a rebel without a pause
my mind runs races
something's wrong with my heart
and I can't even trace it
wish I could slow down
give up this fight I've been losing
not sure what it is I'm fighting for
imaginary enemies all around
so I rather just shut the whole world out
my head is a graveyard
always digging up the past
reminds me I'm a fucking asshole
I dont mean to be an ass
it's just how I protect myself
wish I could change
be someone more approachable
I need to lock the doors
sleep and never wake
but I know eventually
someone will pull me out of bed
damn, I really hate this misery
though I kind of like the company
even if it's my own horrific thoughts
It SuUuCkS!!!
society has been scaring me
with neighbors at war
these arguments are all wrong
righteous lies
devils chanting about morality
oh the hypocrisy
just wish I could sit
and enjoy the better things in life
but it's not easy ignoring the ugly
maybe it's in my head
maybe things aren't that bad
or maybe...
-
everything is heartbreak
-
and everything is hate
-
everything is stressful
-
and everything is pain
some people are good at it
putting smiles on their face
I just can't relate

it's difficult for me to be one of those people who can go along to get along, too. The longer I work from home the more it feels like that is a skill I'm losing , too.... 100% relatable poem, my friend.
So very well written.

I'm sure many people deal with not wanting to deal with the day to day. I guess through my eyes I've always felt I had to do things the hard way to get anywhere. Feels like life gets frustrating and sometimes I just don't want to deal with it. Though that's basic depression I'm sure. Still doesn't make it much easier. Oh, and yeah, i never been much of a people pleaser lol. Too hard headed I guess.
Thank you very much for the read and comment. I very much appreciate it. 😁

Excellent ... great flow ... nice line breaks ... vulnerable ... yet strong ... a hard thing to pull off ... “rebel without a pause” ... poetic gold ...

I'm a Misanthrope...I have never trusted the human animal...we love our cats and dogs...we kill our sheep and cows. It took me a long time to finally understand what Emile Cioran meant when he wrote...the fact that there is no salvation, is truly salvation. A darkly existential poem my friend.

"the fact that there is no salvation, is truly salvation" that's a very wise quote. I try to keep in mind the issues that I care about. So many times people tell you what you should care about. I think that's where a lot of the stress comes from.
Thanks fo the great comment. Made me think.

Exactly DC...all the great philosophies point out that a little pessimism is actually very beneficial.
