The Wet and the Cold

Sometimes the sadness is too real in my eyes

It scares people, makes them go away

Facing their life's truth would be too much

Too much to continue at the end of the day

I'm not sure I would choose it all again

Open my eyes to the despairs I now hold

I weep for the child, the sick and the hungry

I cry for the animals, the wet and the cold

It's good to have empathy within

But constant burden is hard to bear

Drowning my thoughts with world's worry

It's hard to get over, life's not fair
