Dear Hurting, From Healing

*FINALE* Dear World

~~~~~~~~~ooo~~~~~~~~~

Poets Note: This final poem is well over a year late. It's been so long since I wrote this book, so long, so naturally, my writing style has changed a lot. I would like to say my poetry has improved significantly, and I think you'll be able to tell the difference. That being said, the meaning in those other poems is just as real as it is in this one. The heart has always been there <3 However, this is like a summary, a broad contextualization, for all the words written in here. The world is broken, fading, ripping at the seams. We see it today more than ever. But, we still have so much power in ourselves and as a united team. To change, to inspire, to love... there's so much waiting for us. We cannot allow ourselves to be suppressed by the evil of our world. The time is now. If we don't speak out, if we don't act... no one will.

Dear World,

All your sin, all your scars,

You're broken at the core;

You bring more pain, more dark,

Every day, more and more.

You shatter dreams like snowflakes,

Like ice in your hand;

And when your cold winds steal through,

The nightmares ride again.

Beauty shines on the surface,

But darkness lurks within;

It must be to your pleasure,

That life's a game none can win.

Truths are twisted, obscured,

And lies are everywhere;

Amidst the voices, the chaos,

In every breath of air.

Not all can survive,

All are out for themselves;

Because you whisper to them,

With endless lies of self doubt.

This ground is tainted in blood,

And all fight alone;

There's no turning back,

This is all that they've known.

If success is perfection,

Failure is preempt;

But the pressure is stronger,

It leaves no one exempt.
