Can't We All Just Get Along?

Fighting, scratching, bitching, hiding.
Can't we all just get along?

Fainting, weeping, sobbing, crying.
What did I do wrong?

My voice never gets through,
and I fear it never will.
You know that I'm not like you,
I'm not in it for the kill.

Yet in one ear and out the other,
all of my pleading goes,
My dad, Linda, Lee, my mother,
I swear this isn't the path I chose.

What to do? What to say?
Just to survive another fucking day.

A constant struggle, I'm the middle man
who's left alone to stop the fights.
If I can't do it then no one can,
and I refuse to see the sight.

Childish games, needless guilt.
Though in the end,
God laughs at the life he built,
with a life-altering suprise around every bend.

So on I trudge, one more day,
Forever seeking another way.
I'm looking for the tunnel's end,
seemingly forever long.

Can't we all just get along?

This is an older poem as well. As if you couldn't tell, it was written in an anger-driven moment. Unfortunately for me, that moment has lasted 3 years. Yeah, I know, cry me a fucking river. *Sigh* Don't feel sorry for meeee.... =(.
