read it or don't, it's nothing important. just a free verse poem. makes for a good rant.

It’s funny how hard I’ve worked

To keep my faith in our race

And every time I think I’ve made it

Someone does something stupid again

So I honestly don’t know

What I should feel

What I should do

Why are people like this?

Why does nobody seem to care

How others will feel

And what might happen

Until it’s too late, far too late?

I’m sick of it, really

Absolutely done

I don’t even know why I wrote this

Maybe just my little way

Of getting the anger out of my system

But it doesn’t really matter

After all, once I’m feeling better

Someone’s just going to do it again

And I’ll lose faith again

Why even bother trying

Nobody cares whether I care

There’s things I shouldn’t think

And things I do think

And I really don’t care anymore

I don’t care about much of anything right now

Well I do

But I don’t care that I care

I just don’t know how to cope with this

Do I try to hold my faith

And let myself be disappointed

Again and again and again

Or do I just give up

Well giving up isn’t an option

So I guess I get up

And try to salvage that bit of faith

Blown to smithereens again

And put together what I can

Fixing it as best I can

Maybe I’ll get lucky this time

Ha!

I doubt it

I guess I just need to accept

That this is how we are

We’re a selfish, stupid race

And there isn’t much else to say

I guess I’d better just accept and deal with it

So that’s all

I’ve only got one choice

So here we go again
