The World


The world is a cruel place. It cares not about your feelings Or what you think you need. It's full of suffering And unnecessary pain. It's full of broken hearts And broken dreams. The world does not serve you, You serve the world. What you want doesnt matter And it never will. You do what you have to In order to survive And sometimes, Surviving is the hardest thing of all.
