The Family's Lie

AnAlpaca

Families gathered round the table,
For me, that's another fable.
Warm turkey for all,
I'm out in the hall,
Unseen, unheard,
Are holidays absurd?
To me they are,
I strum my guitar.
Sing songs of pain,
Tell of despair's reign.
While they dig in,
A tale I will spin.
Speak of life so inane,
It could drive one insane.
Could it all be a lie?
Can words dignify,
Bring truth to light,
They eat all in sight.
Fatter they become,
Soon they succumb,
Blinded by nomality,
It's all banality.
They don't even know I'm gone,
Like I wasn't there all along.

    It’s truly sad
    When your not alone
    There is so much chaos
    Yet no one knows what is a person suffering
    Empathy and the will to understand has diminished
    I wish people could become more sensitive
    How I wish the world not only become wiser in machines
    But even in emotions
    Yet in front of IQ , the EQ was rejected
    In terms it never made green in pockets
    So well depicted the sadness and aloofness
    Very sad
    I hope you can let go the words on sheet
    Shout on mps with your poetry

    "In a crowded room only I am alone."
    It sucks to feel this way, it really does. I found that I was better off without it, so I left. Keep your chin up, soldier.

      Sad words AnAlpaca, families can be like this sometimes but hopefully all will be well soon. In the meantime we on MPS are here for you.
