Cruel

you know, I wonder

why such things happen to us

and to others too

we just long for love

longing for something to stay

to make us human

but how will we know?

how will we know what will stick

without cruelty?

I’m not even sure

no matter what we live by

we are meant to hurt

until it’s worth it?

but what about the others?

other that we’ve left behind?

well that’s our journey

we get lost finding ourselves

and crash as we go

and learn how to walk

with our crooked smiles displayed

saying we’re alive

that’s what our lives mean

we can’t help but be cruel

until we wake up

aren’t we just young?

or maybe this is adulting?

maybe, I don’t know

and that’s cruelty

gifted by the universe

so we can be us

so that we’ll realize who we were

who we are now

and who we will become
