Empty Me Out

Every religion
For every sin
Any philosophy
To justify
Any kind of life
Any political system
For whatever way they want the people living
Any job
For the slaves of labor
Who sell their souls
To keep the wheels
Spinning
Everyone sinning
Everyone wants the beginning
Never the ending
Every screen
With a model on it
An ideal
For little boys and girls
To dream to be
Crushed dreams
From the start
Unrealistic expectations
For ourselves and everyone else
Leaves us feeling
Empty.
Empty me out
Completely
And build me up again
With everything that actually makes
Life worth living
Not this shit
That’s shoved down our throats
Since birth
Our curse
To carry
An adaption to the time and place we were born into
Thrown into the storm
And man
It’s ugly out there
So it has to be the same
About the man in here
So much fear
So much propaganda
So many lies
So many layers
To dig through
To get to the part of me
That feels
True.
-C.H.
