A poem looking for a reader

[i]Country madness surrounds me, too much sin...
I gave in, this life is a game I'm afraid I can't win
It started here
It will end somehow
Break the cycle! How? When I'm without...
The things I need to help me succeed
Hear me! Not only when I speak but as breathe
Listen... pay attention to the screams
Cries of the weak, who can't sleep
Trying to keep the peace
Not so easy, chaos slowly seeps
Waking up to silence
Going to sleep too soon because of violence
A way out of this... Find it, but then again I'm reminded
That this life is a cycle and I got to make my way around it...
[/i]
