Dear World

Dear World,
This is my final say
I never wanted to ask for help,
but would you have listened anyway?
You never were a kind one to love
And I'm starting to wonder if I wasn't enough
You always liked to watch me fall
Watch me crawl along the ground
Waiting for me to get up
Just to watch me fall back down
And you'd stand there laughing at the broken bones
The feet that were bleeding from the broken home
You never really asked if I would be okay
And you kinda liked to shove it in my face
That I'm not a model, not running on beauty
I've got my pen in my hand and my brain in my head
But I also have eyes to see that you just want to injure me
I'm the newborn fawn the hunters try to catch
If only because it's bait for a trap
And I'm the child being abused
And everyone can see the yellowing bruise
But you never looked deep enough to see
What I always wanted you to watch me be
You like to tear me down
Like I'm one of your math problems that you can't figure out
But I'm like an open book
If only you'd look
I have hidden no secrets, nothing to blame
I have nothing to hide, but you're not the same
You closed up your wounds with warrior-like screams
You killed my spirit, used its sinews for your seams
And I don't know why you refuse to try
But you can't seem to get past the scars on my body
The cuts I can see
The bones still protruding
Cliques keep on feuding
Capulets versus Montagues, all-out war
And whoever wins the battle only gets scarred
Because, little world, you only want pain
And because you're insecure, you need to gain
Your self-confidence by ruining mine
But guess what?! Idiot, I waited for my time
And I'm not with a blade sitting alone
And I'm not running arrows with a marker along my bones
I'm not drinking my rum hidden away
And I'm not smoking the drugs you took today
So, little world, what will you do
When the Karma is flipped and this happens to you?
