The Only One

To those who believe that they do not deserve happiness and/or receive happiness.

You tell yourself the world will end

If you speak your mind

Forgive me for saying this

But you must be blind

If you think the stars align

For the sake of your destruction

And if you are granted a smile

Surely Time will stop its function

When cats cross your path

They are demons in your eyes

When good things bless your presence

You start saying your goodbyes 

Because surely they will leave

As soon as they have come

Because surely your happiness

Is just a one digit sum 

You're wrong if you think

The world crumbles under your feet

And in the human struggle

You're the only one who feels the heat

You are human just like I

10 fingers more or less

With a single heart and brain

Constantly in a muddled mess.

An egotistical mystical

Thought we've created

Where our self worth is both

Belittled and inflated

So take a dive and drink Life

With everything that lingers 

Since you are just another string

In Fate's crooked fingers

Author's Note

For some strange reason...it sounds like a rap in my head. This is the result of the influences of the latest poetry group I've been involved with.

I heard a rap beat too. It works. The theme is right its a fight 'gainst the uptight the black fright the hearts like night.

Oops. It's your turn to shine here...In other words the layout of the poem, the content, the theme and the beat were all compelling and worthwhile. A very good job of writing.

I like this poem because it gets a lot of strong message out. One being the world does not revolve around anyone. This definitely makes me think. Nice work
