This World

I try to live my social life like nothing is wrong.
I hide all my pain from my friends and enemies.
I wonder each day why this has gone on so long.
But, I never get an answer; only lies.
I wish that this was all over and that I was free.
And that it would all come to an end,
But I see that that can just not be.
This world tries to to see how much I can bend,
Right up until I brake and shatter.
I just wonder when this damed world will know
When enough is enough and when I can go no further.
I feel sick in class and just want to die though.
The kids continue to pester me and lie.
This world is against me and in my way.
All I want are a few reasons why I should NOT die,
And why I should continue to stay.
If I don't get away from all this soon,
I have a feeling that I shall meet my fate.
I shall lie on the ground and stare at the moon.
This world will never change, until it is too late.
