Honest Observation

What goes through your head while in the act? Do you see how they feel and think? Or treat people like pawns on your path to success, if life's a game you're trying to win. You always wear them down, you fucking wear them down until their will is weak.
And when you have no more use you cast them aside like trash on the side of th street you go down
With your blinders set only looking out for yourself and your interests
I guess that should be expected from you
You've never committed one on-selfish act without it stemming from malicious intent
You always wear them down, won't fucking wear me down
I'm tired of this dance when you think I have nothing left I'll give you all I've got and stop yhou dead in your tracks
Make you recognize all that I see,
How you hurt others and cause them suffering by going through your daily routine,
Treating others like their existence has no meaning.

Cycles

We're just animals and you're not special
If everyone is eequal than what makes you special?
In time you'll see just what's wrong with your mentality.
In time you'll see just how wrong you can be.
We're just animals and you're not special
If everyone is equal than what makes you special?
Fake ideas and views
Consuming all you read and hear online
A cog in the machine
You waste your mind on thoughts so trivial
and get in line for the cycle
Imposes on you
It's grip's been strong since birth.
Begin to break the mold
With each step the cycle loses hold
Start to see
Just how structured our society has always been
They cycle of socialization sets the stage for oppression
Today marks the end
Your attitude wont do anything
Elitist views won't help humanity
Maybe in time you will see
How you are feeding the cycle you claim to be fighting
Meaning in time
How long til you see
You're fitting the role
they want you to be
Meaning in time
How long til you see
You're fitting the mold they made you to be
you can't wait for change
You must force the change
You must be the change

Fed Up

I'm not vigilant
I keep my distance as an outsider to this world
All the things that I've endured:
Blank stares
Hateful words
Empty Promise
A constant burn
Am I the problem?
Or is it you
Do I live a lie or is it you?
I guess with time we'll find
Is complacency the dominant force or will progression push through?
Regardless of this, no matter how I try, I will always distance myself from the ebb n flow
Though darker it gets I push to the end, my mind is a mess, I constantly fend off thoughts of dissent from the headache of life
Some find it easy some have to fight

Stagnant Progression

In the mirror take a look at you
Notice how time adds age
Crazy to think how six years have gone by but you can still hear those words clear as day,
"No matter what happens to you, you keep moving . You see the patterns entwine, meaning clears time you can be stronger than this"
So you push ahead, but life still drags you down
A constant weight hangs from your neck, it starts to overwhelm all of your senses Starts to feel like you're falling through the floor
But that's when you grab and pull, you scratch and you crawl your way out of that hole
No matter what happens to you, you keep moving. You see the patterns entwine, meaning clears with time
No matter what happens to you, please keep moving. I know it gets hard sometimes, but now you barely try.
You can be better than this
This.
Feeling so low
Don't know what to do
~*it feels like I am shedding my skin*~
I want to smash my skull
~*strip my muscle from the bone. Breathe in deep feel at ease*~
Let all the heat out
~*numb my mind and kill my thoughts. It feels like I have too much skin*~
Give myself room to think
~*strip my muscle from the bone. Breathe in deep and feel at ease*~
Now I'm finally comfortable
