Cruel World
Silver cutting through clots of woe written,
A billion bloody times in your pathetic poetry,
Splashing scarlet in sob stories no one will listen,
"Oh, how cruel the world has been to me!"
Cold and cruel the wicked world has been, that's true,
But do you let your heavy heart heal for all it's been through?
No, you stab at the sickening thing and smile as you do,
Is the world truly cruel, Alter Ego, or is it you?
Why do you claw at your scars till they cry crimson,
And let rage rip at your soul till you spill ruby,
Then tear your throat in lament no one will listen,
"Oh, how cruel the world has been to me!"
