This World

This world is a dark one
With oozing black tendrils reaching into minds and pulling
Pulling down, down into the endless abyss

This world is cruel one
Full of carbon copies and words spoken without thought
Think before you speak because words are sharper than knives

This world is merciless one
Punishing for any little thing;
A word spoken out of time
A thought wrongly becoming a sentence
A glance at someone

This world is a wicked one
Wanting children so soon after they first took breath
Wanting to curse countless people with dark clouds and shaky hands

This world is a crazy one
Make a single step out of line,
You'll be taken, beaten by crowds
Walk the other way,
Walls, pits, spikes will stand in your way

This world is a chaotic one
With millions of people
Fighting to leave their homes
Only to be turned away and forced to live on the street

This world is a horrible one
Filled with bullies who abuse victims yet cry when they kill themselves
Filled with suicidal people like me
Who have to die to be free
