Lost

lost

you know how it feels
when
your people
go astray yes?
that's how i feel
when you keep mute
and
watch me swim
in my flaws.
that's how i feel
when
you watch with interest,
how i
struggle off its claws.
that's how i feel when
the only weapon i have,
is an inaudible voice
in my head,
calmly urging me
to face the monster,
with bruised arms
and a ruptured flesh for legs.
that's how i feel,
when you
hand me an armour
that weighs heavier
than my strength.
that's how i feel
when
the only help that comes
is a book with words all over;
and like
gazing at
the paintings of a child,

          i'm clueless.

That wonderfully expresses the frustration of so many. Like the beats too - hip hopish :)

When the world is upside down, even a helping translate into the opposite. Great piece :)

Oh yes! when the world is upside down
