We live in a world
Where everyone is
Perpetually and permanently sad
With sunken faces and half smiles
And a desire to dream their way
To a happier place.
It is terrible
How society is so damaging
And cruel to a humans soul
They will step foot into the world
And get torn apart piece by piece
Until everything they know
And love about themselves
Becomes a part of a person
They can't stand.
Little girls are sheltered
And little boys are warned
Not to draw too much attention
To their bodies
Or to their hopes and dreams
Because they will be crushed
And put into a blender
And mixed until they
Blend in with the rest
Of the people
They don't want to be.
And this is why
There are sad faces everywhere
And even sadder hearts.
And this is why
The world still turns
Even when the people on it
Do not.
And this is why
There is a faint whisper of
"Oh, she was so young"
And sorrow and grief
And mourning.
And this is why the world
Is forever one of the
Saddest places to be.
