The Hurt Devil

There is too much hurt inside
Like the of swarming bees
Like the spiraling of a tornado
Like the high tide of an ocean
There is too much hurt inside

I can barely breathe in the fresh air
Everything I say and do reflects myself and you
Like a tornado, I will spiral
There is too much hurt inside

On the surface I will strike a smile
On the surface I shall throw on facades
I will act out the good girl part
Hiding my hurt deep inside

I will fade to black
I will hide very deep
The blue thoughts will churn
I will still smile
I will still hide

Pretending as I laugh
Blantantly playing with others
Blaming only myself for the hurt
Yelling proudly, "I am sin!"
There is too much hurt inside!

I've seen too much
I've heard too little
I've felt the right amount
But I am still unbalanced
How can I find my stability?

There is too much hurt inside!

Why can't I cry when I'm hurting?
Why won't anybody try to listen?
Why am I a sin that nobody likes?
There is too much hurt inside!

I'm bleeding for the right of my wrong
I'm screaming out against everything
But still no righteous person....
Will stand by my side...
Do you not feel the hurt inside?

Arrogance
Ignorance
Temperance
Grievance
There is too much hurt inside!

I'm speaking out against:
Racism
Gender roles
Social factors
There is too much hurt inside!

Why can't we live the way we are?
Why can't we be true to ourselves?
Why can't we date outside our race?
Why can't we accept the change?
Because there is too much hurt inside.
