Phoenix

What has this world come to? Everything is so complicated. Once a upon a time, people were friendly, they smiled when you walked by. Now everyone is shy, and they hide on the edge of the sidewalk as if you were plagued with disease. Love to me and to others is a he. Once a upon a time I thought I knew what love was. How naive I was then to trust everyone. I was crushed, and my sanity taken away from me. Look at me, do you think I rose from my ashes? No, this phoenix cannot no longer rise to fly. All hope, I have given up, life has no value to me. It's broken and cannot be fixed. I cry, and the phoenix tears cannot heal my wounds. I'm crippled, cant you see that I am not what I used to be? Can't you see that I just want to die and for my life to just kill me? Tell me, what has this world come too? Nothing is simple, everything is so difficult. The old are not wise, but some crazy old fools, and the youth are always tired. As a phoenix I have seen enough now I want to sleep for all eternity, this world makes me sick. I have had enough of it. I can't stand to look at it.
