Me Against The World

avatar

I watch the pillars I've built crumble
No stone was left upon another
My uproar could no longer be heard
People turned a deaf ears to my plea.
Helplessly I lied in a pool of blood
Wounded and bruised
The world gave out an evil smile
"You're alone" it said

I grinned, "you lie" I said under my breath
I knew my family was there
They held me since my first cry
And would do anything for me, I assured myself
I turned around to call for them
But on the other end they fought their own battle
once again the world laughed indistinctly at me
"You're alone" it said

I looked around but alone I stood
Me on the right and the world on the left
It was me against the world
We were both armed
Left to fight in my weak state
I knew it was either I fight or die
No one was ever coming for my rescue
I stood on the battle field left to make a choice

I knew my family was there

Family always has our backs but like you said, everyone is fighting silent battles.

This was a beautiful piece. I like the conversation with the world and yourself.✨

Indeed everyone has their battle to face and we realize we're left alone.
I'm glad you like the piece

Rightly said, only the strong survives the harsh circumstances

Great poem! Unfortunately, I identify with this entirely too much lately. Hopefully we win in our fight against the world.

Very cool poem, at the end I had to read it again because it is very true what you express in this writing, we can ask for help to family and close friends but they have their internal battles and at the end of the day we are God and me against the world, we have to fight till the last breath, thanks for sharing this cool piece ♥

We don't need to fight against the world, We need to embrace it. Everything happens for a reason and in the end, we are nothing more than the sum of our experiences. I like the poem, keep up the good work.
