If this is meant to be

then we go lost along the way

If this is meant to be

then I am not meant to be here

suffering is not a plague to be caught

it is an unnatural state

greed rewrites our history

spinning a tale of benevolent rulers

who oppress us for our own good

humanity is to be kept in check

not united toward a common goal

we were born on paradise

a plentiful world of unfathomable size

when did sharing stop being caring

hating the mere existence of someone seems unnatural to me

we don't even trust ourselves

we have lost our happiness to people who fear our power

why be told how to live

when we could find out what matters for ourselves

I want nothing more than to dedicate my life to writing, so I figured I would start here to test the waters. I will be submitting stories to as many communities as possible.
