WARNING! THIS POEM IS DEPRESSING! I wrote this poem a while back when i was going through some things. It is dedicated to everyone who sees life as cruel. i just want you to know that this poem was written out of hatred for the world, and the world is NOT all doom and gloom.

I love you guys and i just want to say that the world is what you make it to be.

You want me to tell you a story?

Perhaps a fairy tale with a happy ending?

Well that's all fake, so deeply sorry,

But reality is different, no "Once upon a time."

Because reality is not then,

It's now

And it's not who,

But how.

It is "how" it goes, no little fantasy.

It's cold and soulless, can you not see?

Because to face the truth is reality,

And not some fiction, where you wish you'd be.

The crime, bullies, hate and heart break.

It is all real, believe me, for your own sake.

How would we end such a story of life?

Perhaps a man happily married to his wife.

No, no, that will never do!

Because that would be a lie, it's just not true!

Not every cloud has a silver lining.

There isn't always a rainbow after the lightning.

Some are lucky to have true happiness

And some can wake up, happy in their bliss.

But most people don't have that, they make it work.

And then there are those, hiding in the dark.

Waitingfor anything, even the slightest spark...
