The Lives We Live

They look at me as if I’m crazy

I can see it in their eyes

If they could ignore me

They would

But they can’t

I won’t let them continue

Messing up this world

I won’t let them ignore their affect

On the people of the globe

Because they are responsible for it

I don’t want to fight

But I will

If that is what it takes

For them to realise they can’t ignore

That we are all responsible

For the actions of humanity

For the pain of others

For the destruction of the world

For the lives we live

Angel

Swaying trees, leaves falling to the ground

The light of the moon shines down

Lighting upon my wings, my tears

I do not look behind me, though I feel them

I don’t want to face the fact

That I am dead

So I look down

Seeing the wind blow through me

Because I am no longer solid

What am I?

How did I get this way?

What did I do wrong?

I just want to be me!

My impassioned plea soars upwards

Bouncing from the stars

To return to me
