Materialitic World (Collaboration)

*This is a collaboration between me and my cousin Nada, she wrote the first two stanza's and I the next two and so on and so forth, It was a pleasure working with you.*

Listening to the songs,
One after another,
Tears dropping,
Hating the person in the mirror

A weakling, and a coward,
Why can't I say what's on my mind,
Why can't the world accept me for who I am?
Tell me, cousin, am I a monster?

Little kid, life is tough,
You grew in a caring world,
Never met the real world,
Never seen hatred and judgment.

To be judged on how you were,
On your skin color,
Things you haven't seen,
And things you have met all at once

Cousin, it's really confusing,
I have no problem,
But yet I have a problem,
That I'm in a world, that forgives none,

A world that cares for no one,
Materialistic, even friends can be bought,
Why does that happen?
Why are people so mean to me?

Little child, it's time to open you eyes,
This is not an animation, or a bad dream,
Society and reality suck,
But what happened to the strong girl within.

What happened to the girl I knew,
The star has lost its shine,
Kid, I worry about you,
About what you have become, a star with no light.

Brother, I have grown weary of this world,
Once I had a family,
One that cared about me,
Abandoned by them, I am left alone.

They said they cared, yet they didn't.
Left in darkness, I turned to you,
Burdening you with my problems,
I have caused more harm than good.

Family is what you are,
You believed in me when none did,
Stayed by my side,
A shining light that shouldn't go off

Little sister, listen to me,
Those who betrayed you, do not deserve you,
Shine again, the light you truly are,
Can you not see the love I have for you?

Brother, I am tired,
I have fought for so long,
I know you love me,
But that is not enough,

Cousin, you are merely repaying a favor,
I know that to be the truth,
I have lost hope in this world,
Been betrayed so many time.

You have grown weary of the world,
That I ca understand and see,
People telling you they care,
But are never there when you truly need them

Sister, I am sorry,
I know I have not been there for you,
Like you were always there for me,
I made you pass through a rough train, a bad brother I truly am.

Brother, burden yourself with me no more,
I shall survive, I always have,
Betrayals are just another emotion,
In this materialistic world, I do not belong.

But fight I will,
I will stand and up and brush myself,
Even if I fall again,
I'll brush myself and try again.

That's the spirit I know thee well,
Sister, I'm always here,
Even in this materialistic world,
There is always family that stick to the end.

No matter were you go,
Or how high up the ladder you go,
If you ever fall,
Brother will always catch you.

No matter were I am,
No matter were you are,
I know we can both survive,
In a materialistic world,

Family is all that matters,
Nothing else I should care about,
I will try to shine again,
With you, I know I'll always be alright.
