This messed up world
full of cheats and liars
say they're truthful
well their pants are on fire.

This messed up world
everythings out of whack
They say just to sprint
they just ran off the track.

This messed up world
some go, some stay
all thinking its for the best
each going their own wrong way.

This messed up world
war is threatened and stabbed
while walls go down, more walls go up
each having their own shade of bad.

This messed up world
it spins round and round, tick tock
we try to try, we hope it’s fine
oops, we just smashed the clock.
Life can be cruel,
Life can tear you apart,
Life can take your heart in its hands and crush it with the slightest of breaths,
Life can knock you down with a single finger,
Life can push you off the edge,
Life can burn your soul,
Life can punish you for doing the right thing,
But the thing is,
More often than not,
It doesn't
There once was a very young fish
Who only had one wish
To swim in a pond
For it would be fond
Not to be served on a dish
I wrote this thing in 5th grade. It shows.

As I lie in the refuge of my bed
I wondered
**Where do broken hearts escape?
Where do tired souls go?
She watches the flames
And wishes she could feel
Something, not numbness
She touches the flames
Hoping to be burned, marked by
Something beautiful
