Peaches N' Cream

The world isn’t always peaches n’ cream
It’ll make you cry
It’ll make you scream
You will fall down
You will be bruised
You will feel torn
You will lose
You have to pick yourself up,
brush off the dirt.
Wipe off the blood,
put the hurt in the back of your mind
You’ll learn in time that life’s not fair
You’ll learn in time that not everybody cares
So when you finally see the perfect world you thought existed,
has become sick, unfair, and twisted,
When you finally see that not everything, everyone, or even life, is exactly as it first 
seemed,
know that the world isn’t always peaches n’ cream
