My dark skin stings as cold tears trickle down my frowning face
Anger and sadness has built up within me, squeezing my organs
I quietly sniffle trying to figure out what is wrong
Why are tears pouring down my face uncontrollably?
Like a waterfall of somber wetness

I don’t know why I’m upset
I fear not knowing what I am fearing
The world has become an utter blur
All that I ponder is the evil and horrid occurrences:
Racism, discrimination, murder, bullying, suicide

It’s hard to walk upon earth with knowledge of savagery
We are all monsters
Some just appear nicer than others
Within a smile lies one’s inner, true self
Within, I lay a mask to disguise my internal grief

In reality, the world is a dark, sorrowful place
Lying between the depths of fiery hell and the skies of glorious Heaven
Trapped by inevitable sin encompassing it

I swallow a distasteful gulp
As my thoughts scramble and jumble
A whirling wind of confusion and frustration taunts me

God, please give me an answer
What is the answer to life?
To living? To existing?
Why do I not comprehend these feelings of madness?
Not insanity, but anger, anguish, sorrow
All I hope, all I can pray for is
Dear Lord, please oh please make it a better tomorrow.
