Cruel World
life isn’t fun
infact it’s very stressful
sometimes you want a gun
cause it’s hard to be successful
I can’t deal with the work
I don’t want to waste all my time
just so that one day
I could be sublime
in the world’s eye’s that is
that’s what we have to live up to
the world’s expectations
here is a little preview
perfect skin
perfect shape
when we all become twins
the expectations change
and yet we all still follow
the ways of this cruel world
it’s hard for me to swallow
the ways life has unfurled
