This World
by
Krystal Jackson
This world is black
with darkened skies
it's filled with darkness
and I don't know why
This world brings me pain
which I cannot bear
this world is so cruel
my heart, it tears
This world is so mean
to you and I
there's demons all over
I hope we'll get by
This world has cruelty
that lurks at every corner
every person you look at
is also a mourner
Whether they lost some family
friend or foe
you never know
just how low they'll go
As I end this poem
I speak to you
stop the darkness
before it gets to the youth.
