title : breathe

close your eyes and breathe,
and you heard guns being seathe.
close your ears and breathe again,
and the ground is being colorfully stained.
close everything and try not to suffocate,
their screams, how can i concentrate?

thought i've found a way,
then the flower path is dyed in red.
your eyes screams nothing but massacre,
leaving us wounded but angered.
your mind is made of stone,
a heart that is cold to the bone.
fingers keep pulling every of the triggers,
destroying the amount that can be calculated with calculators.

"Who are they?" you asked, "They're a human, a Family, and actually One of Us."
Your skin is bleeding and i can't feel you breathing,
I can't touch you, i can't see you, i can't hear you, what is happening?
then i realize, you're slowly disappearing.

someone, somebody, they're people.
i can say their names alphabetically.
i can feel them suffocating within their chest,
i can see every pain they're trying to suppress,
but then it went dark, tears out.
surrounded by family in a beautiful casket,
but was titled as a lowly bandit.
how could you take them away?
did you let every single of your logic astray?

how couldn't you see, you're losing a family, a sibling, a father, a mother, a sister, a brother, a child, a human being who's purpose is to be a human, and lastly, a part of us.

stop making the skin as the sign of a antagonist,
"our duty is to protect you" you said, yet i didn't see a heart like a protagonist.
i'm inside a box with iron bars,
i can't get out, i can't stop the scars.
i'm inside a community without a humanity,
where the praised and loved is the one with highest vanity.

stop trying to make everything is okay,
when it's violence and hatred, you've displayed.
their voices needed a Sanctuary,
why are you giving them a Mortuary?
i thought you are my knight in shining armour,
now it's the people you protect became the protector.
i miss hearing the differences set aside,
when everyone is included and allied,
i could hold every of hands with you beside,
we change everything to make it a better place,
and i see safety and happiness in their faces.

i can't breathe,
they're sinking their teeths.
ferociously devouring my human soul,
my feelings couldn't be control.

i wanted to reach their hands,
saving them from this cruel Homeland.
reuniting them to place the called Home,
not a place called Catacomb.

If there's a heart within you right now,
shout it outloud and let it be tough.
lend me your voices and let them be heard,
don't let egoism letting your eyes to be blurred.
let our family be able to have justice,
don't let injustices reign in absoluteness.
it's not about being a hero,
and not about who have the strongest bow.
it's about making a secured place in a place we called home, Together.
without anybody to be called "Lower".

Let every human being breathe without a worry,
without being scared of the irrational limited battery.

"What am i?" you asked, "You're a Human, a Family, always been One of Us."
I'll embraced your scarred heart until they are able to trust.
I can't touch you, i can't see you, i can't hear you, but i'm here.
i know you've fallen but i won't let you dissapear.

i'll keep shouting and standing here even after.
