Dance

The music is blasting 
lights are flashing 
people dancing dancing dancing
but inside
the hole were my soul used to be is open wide.
I look around at the happy faces around me
trying to blend in so no one can see
there is no smile behind my mask.
I’m falling falling falling
there are others with masks too
We all band together 
as or hearts break it two,
he doesn’t care
he never did 
and I can’t bare to look
he’s laughing laughing laughing.
Laughing in my face
making me regret so many things 
I want to get away from this place 
prison of guilt 
prison of pain 
prison of tears.
but we band together,
the ones who see the cruelness that has been dealt to us 
hope never lasts forever,
though we try try try 
so I keep on dancing 
keep on falling 
keep on laughing 
keep on trying 
hope doesn’t last forever,
but neither do we.

  • How can I write


    What do I write about
    when 
    people are dying
    people are mistreated
    people are misguided
    people are screaming
    people are crying
    people are morning
    people are shouting
    people are angry

    I say "people"

    Our world is on repeat
    until everything is better

    Our lives are going to be the same
    until everything is better

    The same frequency over and over again
    lulling us to sleep.

    Endless nightshifts and worries
