This World Isn't What It Is Cracked Up To Be

This world isn't what it is cracked up to be

Children are out there

They are wishing for family members to come home

Wondering if they will ever see their heroes again

Mothers, Fathers in the war fighting for their children's freedom

How will they take it when they don't come home?

My life isn't what it was cracked up to be

My family hurting my feelings almost every moment I am awake

Being so excited for something but learning you got your hopes up high for nothing

Waking up with that same feeling of wanting revenge on those who have hurt you, but not your family

How would my family and friends take it if they never saw me again?

Fame isn't what it is cracked up to be

Everyone having to know your inner, most deep and dark thoughts and secrets

Asking the paparazzi to "Just leave you alone" but they never listen

You not wanting to retire but is forced to when your management drops you like someone dropping a piece of glass

How would the whole world feel when you take that handful of pills just to get away from all of the stress you have been put through?

The world isn't what it is cracked up to be

Someone getting bullied everyday

Someone always being told you are never good enough

Someone sitting in their room cutting their skin like it is paper because they hate themselves even more

Someone skipping a meal because they "aren't hungry"

Someone lying on the bathroom floor after throwing up every last bit of food they had left in their body and now they are unconscious

Someone looking into the mirror thinking "Why am I so fat?"

The world isn't what it is cracked up to be
