A Cruel World Poem by MVJ Simon

A cruel world

No justice anymore
The sickening smell of loss
Surrounds…engulfing me

No will to live
Tired…my eyelids heavy
I just want to lie down

Am I giving up?
Or have they made me give up?
I don’t know

The pain is unbearable
The truth is harsh
I am tired to fighting

For every little thing
For survival
For my right to live

It’s so sad
When my world crumbles
Shattered…in a blow

No words can heal
Nowhere to run and hide
The walls of despair boxing me in

I must fight it
With all my might
And emerge…unscathed

I must live
