Backwards - A Poem
Note: Trying something new!
Backwards, we walk
Into the 'happiness'
We thought there
But truthfully
No happiness exists
We've been fooled by our surroundings
By our hopeful minds
We've lived so many lies,
Why not live another?
Backwards, we run
Away from reality
Away for the hurt
Successfully, we follow
The path we were forced to choose
As there was no other
We live a bleak existence
Why do we still care?
Backwards, we stumble
Into our pasts,
Into our memories
Denying all truth
But turning back
Into the little child we hide
We live in fear of remembrance
Why do we still suffer?
Backwards, we fall
Into an oblivion eternal
Never screaming, nor laughing
Rejoycing in the act of death
The freedom finally felt
From the fear, hurt endured
We died in a blaze of glory
Why do people still judge us?
Backwards
From the earth
Now unto the earth
