the battle within

by Daryl Fein

shallow smile inside the hall,
another wake passes me by,
theres always an opinion to be heard,
theres always a corner to hide,

can I have another scoop of neopolitan tripe?
and some hate sprinkles for cimetry,
crude social mindrape is the phrase of my day,
the world explodes for me and only me,
its madness in every way,

I can speak my mind,
so no one can hear it,
I can be there for the ones I love,
but they will only fear it,
a newly formed alliance,
can turn and crumble in the wind,

we all need to feel loss sometimes,
when we lose,
we actually win,

and when the wind becomes to fierce,
and I cry until no end,
I try to stand tall against the current,
and my spine breaks under skin,

I am still survivng, yes, I am still here.

Well, events are inter connected. Good, leading to the bad and the other way round.
