Stop
I wish the world would stop
stop spinning, let us all take a break,
but the world can never stop, only change.
i wish you would stop
stop hurting, stop yelling, stop lying
hurting people doesn't make you better,
yelling will only make people deaf,
and a lie will always come out eventually.
i tried to stop,
stop laughing it off, stop crying, stop living,
but stop isn't what i really wanted.
i wanted change,
but people can't change,
only the world
people just stop,
they stop for a little while,
then continue,
then stop forever,
and only forever when you die.
