Fuck The World

There’ll be  

Struggle. 

There’ll be 

Success. 

There’ll be 

Times when light turns to darkness 

Love turns to anger 

And when the downward spiral of  

Life’s trials 

Serves as an alarm clock 

To awaken from your slumber 

And take a hard look 

Around. 

There’ll be 

Hell. 

There’ll be 

Loss. 

There’ll be 

Times when you’ll pick up the phone 

Line’s dead 

And you’ll be reminded 

That when shit gets hard 

Your loved ones won’t 

Be found. 

In this big world 

So much  

Individualism 

In the midst of  

A Crowd. 

They 

Have so much pride 

Yet 

Nothing tangible to show  

For why they feel 

So Proud. 

In the End, 

Who loses 

Who wins 

My bruises  

Your sins 

I sting  

From your bite. 

I’m wrong 

And you’re right. 

I’ll take all your blame 

And you’ll feel  

No shame. 

Your love is a gun. 

You shoot me,  

Then run. 

You prick me 

I bleed. 

“Please help me!” 

I plead. 

But you don’t hear me. 

All of the cares 

And the fucks  

That you gave 

Are neatly folded 

And put away 

On a shelf. 

I hold a mirror  

To your face 

I can see you 

But you can’t see  

Yourself. 

You are walking 

Talking 

Irony. 

Fuck the World.
