I Don’t Understand

I can’t seem to grasp the fact that the world in fact is an ugly place.

We live in a world where suicide is an easier way out than being yourself.

We live in a world where kids have adult minds.

We live in a world where no one is utterly happy.

We live in a world where no one seems to understand the idea of being kind.

The world from afar is such a beautiful thing.

Yet close up, face to face with one another, everything is far much unappealing.

We live in a world where war is an option to obtain peace.

We live in a world where our leaders keep secrets from the public.

We live in a world where women cannot go outside without being harassed.

We live in a world where homosexuality is seldom accepted.

Why is it that as human beings, instead of helping our own kind, we turn our backs to one another.

One day you people will see the error of your ways.

One day you people will see the pain you’ve inflicted on not only others but a prolonged pain on yourselves.

But for now I’ll continue to sit back and watch the planet wither. Slowly, but surely.

And I just don’t understand.
