I feel the moonlight touch
Sitting in my balcony
Reading a Wattpad story
I wonder why?
Why has the world been so cruel?
The 14-yr olds who should enjoy life
They are trapped in their homes, scared
Some of bullying, some of being bullied
Some with the concern of their future
Some of underestimation
Some of loneliness
Some of many other reasons
Which lie underneath their eyes.
As I continue to read,
I find that the author is a teen
Her books are depressing
I sense her escapism from the world
Some embrace suicide
Others vent her surged anger.
I look around
My eyes searching for answer
I scroll through my Insta
'Sad but true' is written everywhere
People who hurt, who are hurt
Both are holding on to the world
I only see broken and hurt ones
They show a veil of happiness
Another form of escapism?
I wonder why?
My heart aches,
Hand on my chest to stop it
I realised, am I not the same?
Don't I want to escape from this world?
Don't I want a peaceful life?
I look upto the full moon
She smiles brightly at me
Can you show me the way
To a better world? I ask.
