Your World
Cry down on Your world
And we’ll know You’re sad
You gave us the power
And we just went mad
We killed Your people
Just because of their skin
We never took caution
Of this world we live in
We abused Your children
And told them not to cry
So they do even more
All alone at night
We abandoned the love
And destroyed the compassion
Now all we care about
Is money and fashion
We told Your girls
That they had to be thin
To catch the eyes of men
Be skinny to win
We told Your boys
That it was pure sin
To like other males
And love other men
Cry down on Your world
And we’ll know You’re sad
You gave us the power
And we just went mad…
The Fourth
What am I supposed to do?
I’m so in love with you
I need to be better
So you won’t leave me forever
You broke my heart so many times
Four times
You can hurt me again
I will always give in
You can cut my heart open
I don’t mind being broken
You can burn my skin
Until our love wears thin
You can break my bones with your words
I don’t mind being hurt
Scar me until I die
Kill me a hundred thousand times
What am I supposed to do?
I'm so in love with you
You broke my heart so many times
Four times
One day you will leave me forever
So I need to be better
What am I supposed to do?
I will just wait forever for you
I’m sorry.
The phrase "Cry down on Your world" really grabs me. Best five words in the poem. Good job.
Really enjoyed this read, though so emotional, "angsty" and amazing sentiment; enjoy is not really the appropriate word......
I've struggled with my faith in God for a few weeks now, and reading your poem made me realize that maybe God is the one that doesn't believe in us. Maybe we're the ones that should be apologizing, but at what point is "Forgive me for my sins" not enough anymore?
