When I consider how my life was spent
Many things I've grown to resent
Living in this world we have here
Driven by hate, consumed by fear
Just when I think it's over
My doubts are back in my face
Screaming, deceiving, bleeding my hope
Until it's wrapped around me like a rope
I keep waiting for it to be gone
I don't understand why things need to be wrong
I've held this in for far too long
All I need now is an escape
You were never really here
To help fight away my fear
You were never really here
To help dry my tears
And for this you expect to be revered
But all you are to me is feared
Now I'll stand up and fight with resistance
Because one thing you will never take is my persistence
I will never conform to your society
Where everyone is supposed to be “free”
There is one thing you will never own
And that one thing happens to be me

Wow, great expressive words you've penned here, I love these kind of writes, that come straight from the mind and heart to paper/screen!
"When I consider how my life was spent
Many things I've grown to resent
Living in this world we have here
Driven by hate, consumed by fear"
-- The world can definately drag you down sometimes, and I think that is your opening point here, great opener!
"I will never conform to your society
Where everyone is supposed to be “free”
There is one thing you will never own
And that one thing happens to be me"
-- I love this because I feel like you are taking a stand, standing up for youself against this sometimes wicked world... Nice ending for this piece.
Congrats on that HM by the way
Well deserving!

I hear your words
Many have had to live in a world of hate and destruction they never felt what love really feels like only their friends about them only they feel its not real for they arent family but its all you have . No no one can make your world a better place to live in only you can do this . For to do this you first have to decide what it is you really want . I know how people are and the way they look at you and they dont have to say a single word its the silent body language you see and yes it hurts. I hope you do find what you are searching for in life and know this if you are of age and want it them tou will see it through .

I don't understand why things need to be wrong
...well, maybe first consider the power of words and the fact that you just said with a lot of feeling..."things need to be wrong"
I pray you balance in your life
