This Life Though

It doesn't matter 
The kindness displayed
The boastful flatter
Dote and praise

It gets you nowhere
But under their thumb
Your feelings aren't spared
No friends among

Nice is weak
I wish it weren't true
It hurts to speak
Words of blue

It's hard to encompass 
Realism and faith
Seeing the cruelness
Feeling the grace

The world is harsh
The devil's game
 You lose your heart 
To gain fame
