This Cruel World


Why does it seem

Everyone around me

Dies

No lies

It hurts the most

When I’m the host

Of this hard time

I cry and cry

I feel so weak

The world looks meek

I hate this cruel world

It takes who I love

In the worst of ways

It breaks my heart

To see people cry

To me it doesn’t help a thing

Just brings more pain

To sit in vain

Why does this world have to be so cruel?

Why does it take who I love?

This is such a cruel world

We live in
