.....

An old soul
A young spirit...
People try to tell me how to live my life
Society tries to bend and twist me to their will
To satisfy their needs
To perpetuate a corrupt system
Where too many things are being done wrong...
I don't want to hear it
I will not submit to that bullshit
And it's not cause I'm not a good listener
Or closed-minded
It's because my mind is wide open
Just like my eyes that have been exposed to the lies
Like my free soul that will not be chained down
To a mediocre life
Filled with false promises
Where we give so much
For such little return
The only thing college promises is debt
Yeah I know
The only thing life promises is death
And this time I have here is limited
So I choose to use it wisely
You know
I have begun to distance myself
It's quite interesting
That when you step back
With a perspective as broad as possible
The truth is quickly made clear
I almost couldn't believe what I was witnessing
It's as if I was behind the scenes of a movie being directed
By the government
By our corporate masses
We are like rats trapped in a maze
Too blind to find an escape
Too tired to care
Living our day to day lives
Trapped in a vigorous cycle
That only a few are intelligent and courageous enough to rise above
Fucking nevermind these things
They make me depressed
When I try so hard to be optimistic
But it seems like being realistic goes hand in hand with being pessimistic
I stare at these people
Consuming
Polluting
The news is like comedy for me
They can't feed me that shit
And expect me to buy into it
But they will most certaintly try
These people don't think I see their true intentions
Hidden motives are made clear
When you're no longer a beneficial member of society
When I look in the mirror
And I imagine my future
Idealized
I don't know if I see a realistic expectation or reverie
Because all of my dreams and ambitions
Are too hard to pursue in a world like this
Well I'd much rather die trying
Than give up and give in
For what?
You rarely get return
It's holding you back
But you've already been sucked in and trapped
Prisoner of this lifestyle
A lifestyle where you're forever in debt
Just give, give, give
While higher authorities throw you breadcrumbs
Like birds
Don't be a fucking bird brain
You have so much more potential than that
Poor innocent child
I tried to save you
I tried to save myself
But the power of authority
And the ever-influencing media kept dragging us down
Well this is how the world works, kid
Because we have settled for it
We have conformed
As if the world is in such a wonderful state
And there's no room for complaint
I guess life is sort of like a game
And you just have to learn how to play it
So if you're not fighting against what's unfair
And just feeding into it
Then shut the fuck up and stop whining
What the hell did you expect?
Here you are barely making ends meet
You have dedicated your whole life
To barely be able to support your kids and wife
This is majority of population
The working class
After being attempted to be brainwashed
Throughout my whole life
I can feel myself naturally isolating
Because of how truly different I am from all of them
And if that sounds vain
Then I guess the truth can be
But everything I do humbly
And rooted in good intentions
I am not religious
I just have proper morals
I can be selfless
I can do good things on my own
And not for the purpose of obeying a higher power
Just because it's who I am
A lot of ignorant people are guided by morals the bible teaches
That they should have on their own
Insincerity
Everywhere
My religion is truth
