Confusion
anger
lonesome being

Fearful
shaking
never breaking

Some smile
only when greed lurks
beneath the surface
grasping
growling

Some give
only for the glory
boasting the story
of a light falsely glowing

Some serve
only to avoid the torture
with fear and indenture
never given, only taken

Some awaken
only to a glaring solitude
of the unforsaken
numbing dose of lies

Some seek to fix
only to damage beyond repair
by taking the very substance
of which helps us dance

Some laugh
only to hide
the seeking
of connection
and yearning of affection
