When friends start bullying

When children start polluting

When everyone is taking

When neighbors start killing.

Maybe that’s when

Friends should start listening 

I'm right behind you

I'm in your walls

Saying you're ugly,

Fat,

Too tall

I'm everywhere

I'm in your phone

I like to kill

Things I own

I'm your conscience 

Studying like my life depends on it

Prepping like my life depends on it

Driving like my life depends on it

The ground

Beneath us

Trembles in fear

The future is

Dark

The ending is

Near

The trees

Around us

Shrivel in fright

They cannot

Stand

Patter, patter, boom

The sky is torn and shredded

The night is crying
