Premium Member Good Morning Cruel World
I open my eyes and I can hear the clock radio blaring it's tunes and screaming at me to get up. I lazily reach my hand out to find that button, the button that is larger than the rest, hoping I can press it one...

Goodbye cruel world!
I won't miss you when you are gone.
I'm looking for a better place,
Where I feel like I belong.

Goodbye cruel world!
I'm not sorry you have to go.
I'm looking for the time,
when only love and peace will grow

Goodbye cruel world!
I won't miss all of your...

Premium Member Lost In This Cruel World
Sure all we can do is our best in the end 
like forgiving him as he knows not the trial of untruths 
Justice of his curse why condemn someone wrongfully 
Now that really hurts deeply branded as something 

I am clearly not as God is...

Cruel World
What a cruel world we live in
A world led by Satan
A world so confused, 
that is so filled with ruse

Oh, you think, at least there is a little peace
But there’s still wars in the middle east
The poor starve, while the rich feast
Abortion rates have increased

What...

Cruel World

=0=

Its a harsh cruel world sometimes
Everywhere you turn there are people with broken hearts 
Shattered dreams...

Yes, this world is such a cruel place
As naivety is always punished.
And players thrive.

This is the same story for so many
Who's  broken world's need fixing too
Why in this world...

Cruel World Out There
If expressing our genuine feelings is now a worn-out sin
And by being what we really our becomes our personal burden
When their prejudice eyes becomes the eye of the world we live in
Where will we place ourselves then, if we’re just innocent victims?
 
It’s scary to...

Goodbye Cruel World
Being the worlds chief of police
Is so overrated
With all that we do
And they all still hate us

We're only here 
To keep up the peace
Spread our name brand 
Of Democracy

If you don't love us
Then kindly leave us
If you don't trust us
Won't hurt our feelings believe us

We'll...

Cruel World
I lay my body on this heap,
My eyes are weary and longing for sleep.
As the world gets darker and begins to swirl,
For this poet has found comfort in a suicide pill. 
My  body will be found stiff and chilled
With a note that says “Kiss...

A Cruel World
The world is ending, I see it in my dreams while I sleep

Homeless people fill up the streets, looking for a buck to eat

Only feelings of despair and defeat



There are drug filled streets only a few will meet

Some that kill, some that heal, and others...

Farewell, Cruel World
It was a pleasure to burn
The memories faded
As I lit the match
My eyes were jaded

How dare they laugh and scorn
At my dreams, my hopes
My only freedom from this life
Without which, I cannot cope

I will soon be free and content
To be what they will not let...

Why Me, Cruel World, Why Me?
Cruel, cruel world,
Why me?
I never hurt you,
Why must you hurt me?

When does it stop?
That tearing pain inside me.
Will it ever leave?
It's slowly driving me crazy.

This life will end,
But why must I wait?
Let me go now,
I want it to end!

Don't hold me here,
In pain that's so...

Cruel world! 
we are always changing for others
           suffering  for them
             satisfying them
   but we most never get a return

Farewell Cruel World
I have this wound ...deep inside my heart
That just doesn’t stop bleeding
The brutal pain I suffered through time
Left me with a dark... empty feeling.

Can’t you notice the sorrow filled tears
That drop from each glum eye
The cursed words I yell out to the world…
“I just want...

The Morning After I Killed Myself
The morning after I killed myself, I woke up.

I made myself breakfast in bed. I added salt and pepper to my eggs and used my toast for a cheese and bacon sandwich. I squeezed a grapefruit into a juice glass. I scraped the ashes from...
