I once thought
The world would always be joyful.
No tears shed, no despairing words said.
Only smiles and laughs
Would fill the air, ringing out
Loud and clear.
I once thought
Freedom could be taken for granted.
That everyone had a choice
How to speak, how to act.
No pressure to fit in, to
Please those in power.
Only individuality would be expressed,
A virtue valued and admired.
I once thought
Friendships could stand the test of time.
That true bonds could never be
Shattered, always stronger than ever
Through thick and thin.
No amount of rumors, backstabbing
Could tear close friends apart.
I once thought
Everything could be forgiven.
That love could heal all wounds
And resolve even severe conflicts.
That friends could always reconcile,
No matter how hurt they might be.
For friendship is a powerful weapon,
And it must triumph over hatred.
I once thought
Everything could be possible.
But only now do I see,
These utopian illusions simply
Cannot be. For we live in a
Twisted world, a world of
bitterness, a world of
Revenge.
