How I long to flourish
I’m a lost face in the history of the suppressed
Striving to diminish ignorance in this world
Yet thrown down as another minority, struggling and depressed
Is it just me?
Or do you feel this constant energy holding you down?
Striving with every ounce of my being
To be made a joke and shoved around
Climbing and bleeding
Until I’m so tangibly close
Just for my life to so swiftly slip away
Left to linger among the pathetically morose
Letting go of my inhibitions
So that I may succeed
But the more good I bring in
The more my chances deplete
I keep forgetting to breathe
As I repress this malevolent source
I must believe I will prevail
I must induce myself to trust life’s course
