People

People are hollow.
They bring only sorrow.
And offer nothing else.

People show no mercy.
They cause only controversy.
And hurt everyone else.

People pretend to be shy.
They really mean to lie.
And force emotional discomfort.

People have made me this sad.
They attempt to make me mad.
And succeed in their efforts.
