Living In The Mind's Cage

26.

Lie,
As everyone does,

Cry,
As everyone does,

Question,
As everyone does,

Feel,
As everyone does,

See,
As everyone does,

Hear,
As everyone does,

Smile,
As everyone does,

Breathe,
As everyone does,

Hurt,
As everyone does,

Listen,
As most will not,

Speak,
As most will not,

Sleep,
As everyone does,

Eat,
As everyone does

Have "fun",
As everyone does,

Love,
As everyone does,

Live,
As everyone does,

Be stressed,
As everyone does,

Be ignorant,
As everyone will ,

Fade,
As everyone will,

Die,
As everyone will.

Blend in the crowd, it doesn't matter..

In the end, everything is pointless..

Your efforts will soon fade..

It's fine, you're fine, I'm fine..

But just know, the world will never be..

When you can't look at yourself in the mirror,

Walk away, try again,

Walk numbly for a week, or weeks on end,

Try to comprehend the concepts that fly by you,

Though this life is short and so easily snuffed out,

Try to understand, that no matter how you look at it,

Everyone is selfish, their personality or actions,

They will always be, don't deny it,

It will just be worse, you'll be worse off,

Than you already are,

It's fine, you're fine, I'm fine,

You see, our lights were snuffed out, without us noticing,

You can pretend it's still there,

But it's gone and it won't come back,

You let it leave, so suffer your ignorant actions,

It's fine, you're fine, I'm fine,

Try to enjoy what little you were given,

For it is all you will truly get,

Everything you acquired after, means nothing,

Try living in someone else's shoes,

You can't even move,

Try seeing what they see,

You may as well be blind,

Try hearing what they hear,

You don't even have ears,

Try feeling what they're feeling,

You would surely crumble, moments later,

It's fine, you're fine, I'm fine,

But that's the lie, isn't it?

We can use this line, until it means nothing,

Tiring isn't it? I know, but our nature is to keep fighting,

Want to know the silver lining?

The icing on the cake?

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's more of a charred edge,

The edge of everything that went wrong,

And we are all standing on it,

Contemplating when to leap, when we're all too cowardly to do so,

But too selfish if we did,

Either way seems....there isn't a word to describe it,

You can try, but nothing seems fitting,

Maybe hell, either way,

It's fine, you're fine, I'm fine,

But we aren't, are we?

We can try to make the world into a better place,

But our efforts won't work, even slightest bit, because,

Everyone isn't trying, 

Everyone isn't happy,

And everyone isn't helping,

Because, the matter is, everyone silently gave up a long time ago..

Try as you may,

But know this,

Blend into the crowd, it doesn't matter,

In the end, everything is pointless,

Your efforts will soon fade,

It's fine, you're fine, I'm fine,

The world will never be,

Want to know why?

If actions speak louder than words, and no one's acting,

Then who will be louder?

Who will be the one to sing?

A/N: Once again a non-rhyming one, I guess I'm really having writers block. I'm trying to put more parts, I feel this book is too short and school is going to start soon. I'll probably update a little less than I'm already doing. Or probably for a while, because my life just keeps having more downs than up, as usual. Anyway tell me what you think, any errors? I quickly went through it, I so probably didn't catch them all. It may look like a long poem, but it's only around 400-450. Anyway hopefully my writers block will go away, because I try to rhyme so my deep meaningful words don't chase off my readers. (Unless you're insane like me..). Either way, I like rhyming and it helps ease off the heavy words. Once again found some pics from Google put them together and put it up there or to the side, depending on your device. Try to update soon.
Until then.
