Oh dear world, why are you so cruel? You tear me apart and step on me like I am some kind of fool. Your ugly heart yearns for my downfall, and I scream, I shout, but nobody hears my call. I am tired of pretending, tired of living automatically, You despise joy and in the end, that's how you'll always be. You trample my hopes and expect me to be fine, Even though you know you've just destroyed my lifeline. I try to be happy despite your attempts to make me fail, But happiness is not possible while your wrongs still prevail. You try to tell me that I should not feel this way, That "every cloud has a silver lining", but that is just something you say. You wreak havoc everywhere you go and call it an accident, But each day your chaos and deception become more and more evident. I wonder if you realize the consequences of your actions, Or maybe you do it all just to evoke reactions. Oh dear world, why are you like this? Am I too much of an optimist if I hope for harmonious bliss?
