Reality

I’m trying to cling onto small pieces of my identity
Because of their insanity
World hunger, murder and terrorists
We are losing our sanity
Where are our therapists!?

What is reality?
I suffer through agony
I am here alone, stuck in this calamity
Honestly, it is a tragedy
People bullied for their deformity.

I’ve been struggling with trust
And who I’m meant to be
I’m helplessly slipping away breathlessly
I just want to be free!
It’s a burden like I’ve been tied down
But sadly, I haven’t been found
