Dark World

by Amanda   Feb 7, 2005


I feel like I’m lost in a cold world of darkness,
I am lost and I can’t find my way out.
A dark atmosphere with hurt and sadness,
So dark that no one looks up no matter how loud I shout.

Cruel people with evil eyes,
People only want to seek pain and revenge.
People in this dark world who live among many lies,
Lies that leads people whom need to avenge.

I feel like I am on a stake about to catch fire,
Alone and looked down on by people I don’t even know.
Living in this dark world filled with desire,
Desire to wish this dark world would eventually have its glow.

Every morning I look out the window near my bedside,
I look out as the sun slowly makes its way up.
Soon the sun is out but in my eyes it never shines,
All I see are dark and cruel people who never shut up.

All I did was love and care for everyone,
I even cared for people who despised me for no reason.
But I get nothing back for the love and care that I’ve shown,
All the trust I had in people is now just hate and treason.

I just realized that there is a lot more hate than love in this world,
I thought people wanted this to be a better place?
People should start loving and stop hating,
Love could bring more light to this dark cold space.

All I can see is black through these sad eyes,
Only because my heart has been many times ripped to pieces.
I hope people will now realize,
We human beings are the most sensitive species.

I used to be full of joy with love and happiness,
But that has just recently changed.
All I can feel is anger and sadness,
I wonder why I’m full with so much hate.

I am now just a walking body on this dark earth,
A body that feels like it has no soul.
All these feelings I know I don’t deserve,
But it feels like I just walked through the universes black hole.

Standing there all alone, lost and forgotten,
Maybe it’s a good thing to have my own space.
Now while I’m away, ready to grow old and rotten,
Someone will realize it’s useless to take my place.

I believed my place was to love and care,
People are so dark and disrespectful.
When I walk by, all people do is look and stare,
All I think is “am I really that ugly or that beautiful?”

Dark people who are real but fake,
People who will always run their mouths.
No one will ever understand what you say,
You won’t be able to tell them what it’s about.

People who can hear you but just won’t listen,
They have eyes but can’t see the distance.
Their eyes will never glisten,
Like eyes of a mad man for instance.

Here I am telling all this to you,
But I’m still going to try to love and care again.
I believe one person can change anything,
I can make it so the shining light will soon begin.
