I have found that I can't quite adjust
When water falls from the sky like dust
And riddles the ground with a blanket of white cold
Like every other year since ages ago

And I know that all I do
Is to keep me out of this cold blue
And I know that I can't keep fighting
Because soon I will loose the lighting

I am a person hard to contain
Like every other virus or infectious strain
I am simply a disease
Help me, please

I know that all I do
Is to keep myself from hurting you
But I know I won't be kept bound
Until I am 6 feet underground

I never understood
Why people sat and made falsehoods
And watched the world they loved burn down
And watched as many people were struck to the ground

It makes me sick
It makes me writhe
It makes me tired of living this life

I have found that I can't quite adjust
When the ashes fall from the sky like dust
And riddle the ground like sand on the floor
Soaking in the sins of their fathers before

The People watch
The Angels gaze
And Demons laugh
As I leave this place

I really like this poem.
Very good for your first here, Red.
The stanza above was an awesome opener for your poem. It is also my fav in this piece.
Nice images and substance in this. Good work.

Thank you Def!
This is not only my first post here but pretty much the first poem I have ever written
