-world-

One Word #3 Word: World World, noun, Any sphere, realm, or domain. It’s too difficult, I’ve repeated that many times before, When I tasted life on my lips, I didn’t want anymore. Now that I look back on the me from my past, I’m so glad that she managed to last. I envy her, for she had managed to make her own place, Where no one could touch her, her own personal space. “If I can’t solve the problem, then I’ll work around,” So this girl made a new place, where her feet didn’t have to touch ground. Nothing kept this girl from simply leaving, And flying off to a place where there was no grieving. If her heart was broken, she would simply run away, Because surely no one would care if she didn’t stay. But in this place, there was nothing, nothing at all, There was no one here to answer her call. It was just as lonely as reality, but she didn’t care, Just as long as she could escape a world that was unfair. Black and white kaleidoscopes, monochrome fantasies, On a daily basis, that’s all the girl sees. Just scream out if you’re feeling wrong, But even then, no one would ever come along. Do you feel your heart breaking? You don’t even realize what you’re saying! No, no, I don’t know what I’m doing anymore, Am I truly this colourless in my core? I realized that I couldn’t just vanish, I couldn’t just leave, And that I should be able to grieve. I’m envious of that little girl in the past, Because without her, I surely wouldn’t last.
