Empty world

by DamonRay   Apr 19, 2018


This world might be big but seems so empty when the emotions hit.
People all around but no ones there when you need them.
No hands out no one trying to help when they need that hand to stand.
A shoulder to cry on doesn't exist.
A few hugs but there's nothing behind them.
This world is empty when depression takes over a person's head.
The heart feels pain that hurts worse then any feelings that your mind is thinking.
Stressed out on a daily awake or sleeping.
Dreams people have don't happen if you sit still while the world keeps spinning.
Tomorrow's never promised but no ones doing any living.
Got homesless sleeping on the streets making a little cash panhandling.
Signs right by them saying sorry I just need a couple bucks to get something to eat.
Family's breaking apart cause husbands and wives are cheating.
Kids split between two families.
Peace isn't free, everything has a price that no one's wanting to pay the fee.
Jails overcrowded grown men and women breaking the law living a life stealing, fighting, demestic violence, attempted murder, murderous doing twenty to life but not living it.
All this nonsense steadily stays happening.
Everyday the news fill our heads with the corrupt things in this world we are in.
School shootings keep popping up like a bad plague.
Graves being made for the innocent.
Only thing left is a tombstone and memories with them.
World might be big but in the end it remains empty.
Worst is the overwhelming sadness that will always keep happening...
