Silent Bruise

I'm just a silent bruise
on the new face of society
Another delinquent
only concerned with myself

Another person
in the faceless crowd
Sucked in the horrors
of today's youth

Silently destroying
all evidence of intelligence
Lest you think I can
actually spell my name

Dyeing, piercings and tattoos
only to try and stand out
but really blocking myself in
another statistic added to the list

I am America's future
I am but a silent bruise on tarnished skin
I am America's future
Another work in progress

Author notes

Deeper than what I usually write, but I like it. Reminds me of Fight Club for some reason.
