The World We Live In

I don't understand why people always say they care

Then a month later, they go and disappear. 

It leaves me locked up in a dark state of mind. 

Happiness nowhere to find. 

 

I don't understand why people like to make other people cry. 

Lie and say they love them and then hurt them all the time? 

Why the fuck are our minds so messed up? 

Some people really need to grow up. 

 

Going all around killing one another, Cheating on eachother. 

Then walking all around like they just went to heaven, then came back down. 

They have no happiness to bring around. 

 

Then depression, Why the hell do we get so sad? 

Wanting to kill ourselves with the feeling people will be glad. 

Some people think that they wish they had. 

Others saying to another that it is just a fad.

It is so sad that our minds are so bad.

And no one ever tries to fix it. 

 

It is so stupid we have to go around living in fear.

Knowing that someone with bad intentions may be near. 

Why can't we just go and give each other a chance?

Why can't we come together and do a celebration dance?

We're alive, shouldn't we be happy we get to live a life?

It only happens once,

yet we're all so scared of what may happen or what others think. 

We're better than that, aren't we?
