The world is a controversial place, <br />We don’t mean what we say. <br />Does yes really mean yes; <br />Are words just barbaric plays? <br /> <br />We create exquisite phrases <br />That inspires us, warms us within. <br />But it seems this hope is just fleeting; <br />And soon to collapse, all demolished. <br /> <br />We tell our young fairy stories, <br />Grotesque for real they might be. <br />But in life there are no fairy tales— <br />Stories are not modified for you and me. <br /> <br />The world is a controversial place, <br />Especially here, in the human world. <br />Sympathy is only practiced limitedly, <br />While self-intrest is our main goal. <br /> <br />The world is a controversial place, <br />It applies just too right for me. <br />“For Dreams, we live, ” This was my motto. <br />But now, <br />It shatters me.<br /><br />Grace Tan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-it-hurts-so/
