Worthless litter

Just another wasted
Misspent youth
Raised wrong
Surrounded by lies born to die
Provided false incomplete answers
No wonder we struggle to survive
Preoccupied with other people's
Pieces of pie
Can't be satisfied
With our meager means
Competing just for the sake
Of gaining pointless posessions
When real worth is in the
Ability to truthfully answer
Open ended complicated questions
Focus on goals
And positive progression
Rather then staggering
On a confused path
With no sense of direction
Sacrificing a sound mind
For jealousy and envy
No regard to personal protection
Which leaves us open
To violent attacks
From unconscious senseless aggression
Undeserving of a response
Or any attention
Broken spirits
In states of animated suspension
Live in your own world
Develop and decorate your own dimension
Void of the negative
Set on self improvement
To minimize stress and tension
Created inside narrow minds
Serving no purpose
But to weigh on our beings
Detaching From anything meaningful
What's left when love
Desserts us
Broken humans
Who become numb
With nothing but
Cruel intentions to hurt us
Gone for good
Left with no hope of return
Forever lost
Hard to turn backs on
These former friends
Who've become empty
Simple vessels
Of misdirected random emotions
Volatile
Fucking hostile projectile
Hard to trust
Never know if its the devil
Behind an innocent smile
People all so similar
Despite differing styles
Pain runs deep
Like the slits on my wrists
Dripping crimson on tile
Bandages begin
To slow the bleeding
But the real damage
Lies deeper inside
Something brews voraciously
Eating away
Making promising people
Puppets
That now live in the dark
No chance at joy
When hope is abandoned
Weak minds are easy to pollute
With empty promises
Where nothing is free
Besides empty prayers
From knees
Not everyone tries
And fewer succeed
Become one with
Oneself
First step on the journey
To becoming totally freed
Of irrational insecurities
And prisoners of greed
Forgetting selfish wants
To fulfill family needs
Mutual understanding
Without deceiving or demanding
Achieving goals
Result of perfect planning
The reason why
We're all still standing
Limbs intact
Life is infinite choices we make
And how we react
Right or wrong response
Gain more when we ignore
Selfish wants to get the greater good
Not doing as we please
But doing as we should
Standing tall
On our beat feet
Instead of passed out drunk
On a dirty street
Hanging with people
I should avoid
But why focus on others
Unpredictable behavior
Be proactive
Instead of procrastinating
Impatiently waiting for a tardy
Selfish absorbed savior
