Us
Life is a game.
Our emotions are played,
our feelings displayed.
Cheat codes not worth entering
but still we,
Lie
Steal
And Deceive.
Life is a show.
We act to entertain and
Adhere
to our audience.
We become fake
to be perceived as
“Real”
Life is a scene.
We follow the
Roles
people set for
“US”,
never challenging to
portray ourselves
as we Really Are.
Life is a struggle.
We attempt to go,
Beyond
Our
Limits
but we only turn the
Possible
Impossible.
Life is a hazard.
We threaten our happiness.
We open our spirit to belief.
“Only to lose our faith.”
We give our mind to memories.
“Till we want to forget the
Pain we’ve discovered.”
Life is Us.
It’s the color of our skin.
It’s the struggle of the darkness,
to be recognized as good.
It’s our battle against white,
forever blinding people from the truth.
