I don't understand our world.

i can’t help everyone in the world

not the kids who are starving
not the people who are losing their arms, their legs
not the ones who suffer from cancer
or the ones who are slaving away
making things to better our days

i don’t exactly understand
how people can be like that

how there’s war going on
soldiers fighting for our freedom
people dying, dying for us
but people don’t care
people just ignore
the fact that guns are being fired
blood is being spilt, on the battle grounds
on the places people used to call home
blood is staining our lives, and our homes

and by homes, that could be people
people covered in blood
i simply can’t think about it

i can’t think about a child
younger than me
getting surgery
constantly feeling pain in their bones
from cancer and other diseases
i can’t do anything about that
i can’t do anything to help that
i just don’t know how to save them

i can’t make a remedy to fix every disease that’s drowning us
i can’t fix the venom in our veins
and i just don’t understand

our words are hatred to our neighbours
to the people standing right by us
the text messages
your kids send to other kids
telling them to kill themselves
it hurts
but you aren’t doing anything
as the kids cut their skin
waiting for the bullies to try another hit

you’d think saying no would work
or telling them that the police could track the ips
it doesn’t do shit
it still affects us suffering kids
i just don’t understand

the people out there
living on the streets
without any money
are still trying
with minimal food
the people who are skinny as fuck
who are barely holding on
the young kids who don’t have enough
to be taught simple words and math
like 1+2=3

you’d think that there’s no change in this world
i dont know if there is
all i know is i cant be that change
but i shouldnt give up
by killing myself
i guess
even if i dont understand
i know that someday
someone will understand for me
