Corruption
People start with words
Words change people
People get lured
Personalities take a sleep pill
Soon they all become
Somebody else now
Couldn’t be more numb
Lives have taken a plow
Who are you?
Do you even recognize
That you’re so blue
Living in your lies
Why hide amongst a crowd
When you were born to stand out

I enjoyed reading this piece. It touched on some very powerful points. I enjoyed your comparison of personalities taking a sleeping pill. This part ties in with the line, “Couldn’t be more numb.”
I loved reading your poem. Honestly what drew me in was the title “Corruption”. My favorite lines were in your last stanza. It really shows the message the speaker is trying to convey: even know “those people” verbally abused you, do not allow them to control who you are. That you can stand up to them.
Well done.
