The Cruelty of Life
Life is often times cruel
To those of us who don’t deserve its cruelty.
It starts in school
Where we are forced to face reality.
The school bully picks on us
When we go out to recess.
We suppress
The pain we feel.
We are put under much stress
And our heads start to reel.
It is meant to be I guess.
But I don’t like this mess.
It makes me feel
So much stress
At having such an unfair deal
