Open Up ( A Spoken Word)

I asked the universe once what went so wrong 

I asked my friends once why I had to be strong? 

I even asked aloud how many would read this? 

I asked Alexa about life, and she still remains speechless. 

For every closed door and broken word 

A broken heart I couldn't mend or fix the hurt 

To your splintered thoughts, I couldn't wrap those wounds 

When we're all bleeding out from the village curse. 

I tried to wish, for everyone to live 

But it all seems easier when you wish they didn't. 

Isn't that compelling? or just storytelling? 

Can the miles traveled roughly make up for anything? 

Just to find a little peace, though the memory remains; 

No one has your best interests, so start running with them! 

Wasting days away–divided and damaged

Masks and separation, I ask this era:

"How concerned are you?" 

There's an end of an end to an end if you want it, too

Strategically plan, repeat, and rinse anew. 

Desensitized from common eyes 

Who never could feel the things they never knew, 

Is it easier to look away than to face the common truth? 

Is it easier to walk away? Fuck I don't know, man, I wish I knew. 

Life It seems, like demonic possession 

Everyone's demons in my dreams 

Pounding and knocking: 

"Open up!"
