The Gates Of Heaven

I didn’t love myself,

So the world couldn’t love me

I was broken and bruised internally

How does someone find oneself?

Numb, deprived of feeling

When memories self-destruct

If only i could reconstruct

A body, mind more appealing

Self harm, self-hate

Are they different or the same?

It’s time to reclaim

My life, change my fate

The world’s a scary place

Filled with absurd opinions, discrimination

What happened to one nation?

under God , there is no Race


We are built with similar anatomy

Different colors, like a rainbow

Together we could grow

There’s more than one commonality

The distortion of media today

Is nothing but a facade

They edit, change what’s flawed

Behind the acting, what they say

You’ll find imperfections erased

Behind photo shop, makeup

Everything’s different closeup

Not exactly being two faced

We all hide vulnerable things

Look past the smiling faces

The ones who laugh often

Stop judging all living things

When a tree catches a disease

It doesn’t always fall to the ground

It stands tall, where it was found

Waiting to be put at ease

injured animals don't give up

They lick their wound

Some limp away without a sound

Why do we tend to self-corrupt

When i close my eyes at night

I imagine a world without challenges

A population without illnesses

Everyone's happy, no need to fight

When morning comes, i awaken

To the cold hard truth, that awaits

In the end, we all have the same fate

Passed the gates of Heaven.
