Take It
Take the pills or be the pillaged…
Swallow their pills you won't feel so hollow.
Unwilling to say goodbye who I am today, in hopes to find the person they 'want' tomorrow.
I mourn for the person who just wants to be;
I grieve for the ghost of a girl who longs to be seen.
These tablets change the human to reflect an idealistic inside,
Releasing me from the lack of clarity within my cluttered mind.
Losing grip on my own version of reality as I leave myself behind.
Am I to absorb every milligram and live upto their expectations?
Or, stand and be pillaged by their mindless excavations.
Give up, surrender and swallow it down.
Don't give yourself much room for breath, or in their world you'll drown.
About the Creator
Jollyoddbod Poetry
Here I am, and here I'll stay;
Like the moon in the darkness that refuses to fade.
Clouds will cover, but cannot take from my reign;
Mark this as the moment that they realise, as they scoff with distain.
They fell asleep, I cannot be blamed.

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
