Just a Little Bit of Poetry

The Real World

Imagine the world around you,

And how everyday everyone wakes up

With some sort of pain inside of them.

This pain could be a physical pain,

But it also could be a mental pain.

Each day most people wonder to themselves,

What it is like to live

A pain-free life,

But no one really knows how to answer.

Now think about the pain

getting worse inside of you,

As you go through your daily tasks.

Wouldn't you look at the people who are around you

Who are living what looks to be a pain-free life,

And you think to yourself,

"I want that pain free life, that some people have."

Wouldn't you think to yourself:

"I want that pain free life where inside I'm not hurting inside every day."

"I want that pain free life where I don't have to pretend to be loved by anyone."

"I want that pain free life where I don't have to touch the scars,

Invisible or visible,

on my body that will never go away."

"I want that pain free life where I'm not worried all the time,

about what my friends think and say about me behind my back."

"I want that pain free life where I don't cry every day,

where no one can see me."

If you say that you wouldn't think that way,

Then you would be lying,

Because everyone in this world wants that,

But let me tell you the truth.

The truth is that,

You can't have that pain free life because

It doesn't exist.

Everyone in this world has pain,

Even if they don't want to admit it.

Everyone in this world has understood loneliness,

Once in their life.

Everyone in this world has said to someone that they're okay,

When they really aren't.

Everyone in this world wishes that someone would hear them,

When they really needed someone.

But the positive thing about everyone in this world feeling this pain

Is that it causes people to dreams about

A world where none of that pain would ever exist for anyone.

And those dreams cause everyone

To make the most out of life that they live every day.
