No One Ever Said This World Was So Cold

I never meant a world so cold; with so much hate and nothing to hold. Who am I, just another story untold. As time goes by; I watch my life unfold. No one said this world was so cold. No friends, no family but still I am bold. My head up high; at night I may cry. So many words yet still I can't speak. Now I know what my mom tried to teach: "What goes around, comes around". Yet still I can't reach the peak in my happiness that no one can teach. What happened to the joy in my speech. No one ever said this world was so cold. The hate,the lies, the sad goodbyes. Then the moment comes when death arrives. We run our life with so many lies. Hearts were broken and envy in our eyes. We kill, we cheat yet we still can't hide the emotions that we fill inside. No one ever said this world was so cold. Filled with so many goodbyes.

Love your message here, and that refrain with the final line "filled with so many goodbyes." Gives it a haunting quality at the end of your poem. andrea
