Life's Nightmares

Life's Nightmares

Wish I could go back to sixth grade,

Where everyone was sober and things looked astray.

We were so young and had no idea,

Of the nightmares that the world would show us in later years.

Now, at 17, it's hard to look away,

From how cold this world is and the lies people say.

This world makes no damn sense,

It's crazy for most to think so dense.

If we could all just come alive,

Things could be different,

Could improve over time.

Almost six years back, times weren't so tough,

No one was intoxicated with different stuff.

All we wanted was to find ourselves,

Follow the right path and never give up.

Now, in present day, I went and fled,

Contemplating if life's better with words unsaid.

Should we all just turn our heads?

Waiting for the day we end up dead?

If we could all just come alive,

Things could be different,

Could improve over time.

Understanding today's anxiety,

Can make the biggest difference in this society.

But, without those willing to ride over the hump,

It's all for not, if no one can jump.

If we could all just understand,

Everyone wake up and give a damn

We can survive life's nightmares
