impulse
a work of Poetry by paul- (Paul Italiano)



a rant.



it doesn't take a genius to figure that what you do just kills me
maybe if you leave me i'll be better off
maybe if i die then you won't play with me anymore
make me do these things
you claim theres nothing to them
because i'm not the first
so sit instead and laugh as i fall upon my face

i never did ask for this, no matter what you argue
brought here against my own will
to stupid to even try and struggle
it was like i knew of nothing better
but only 'cause you kept my eyes from me
afraid that i might see
like now; but maybe they'd burn right through you

for all the good you think you might have done
how much do you really know?
how many others like me have you shown the way?
i bet after a while it just becomes a habit
you probably think its for our own good
after all, what would i know of *your* world?
the only thing im dangerous to is your well held beliefs

my screams rip through my mind and tear me away from me
leave me here why don't you?
another fucking stiff to bite your bullet
leave me in the dark alone
like i've said before and will again
im not you and never have been
so why do you insist on exposing me to your hell?

so tell me why again you feed your me lies
and tell me they're the truth
all i want to do is see my sky again
not this stale white room
given time i might find something to love
maybe even forget what you've done
learn to stop myself drooling for what it is you feed me

it's time once more to state what i believe
to stop me building anger only to bury it deeper still
I want you all to know that just because I'm not a sheep
it doesn't make me any less human

I think its time again to try to break your rules
it serves to show you I still live, no mattter what I'm told
I want you now to know for sure that I will not give in
the only way I'll break is if I die
