The World Is a Cruel Place

Life behind a shadow.

By Oliver Hardin.Published 7 years ago 1 min read

Its been surrounding us all our lives, but we've always looked away.

From the first day you were born it's been around us.

In a world like this, no one is safe and no one will live.

Fight for your life and kill or be killed.

This world is a cruel place full of dispare and destruction.

But I will survive even if I have to do it all by myself.

I will fight for my life.

If I lose, I die.

If I win, I live.

Its a terrible place to live, but its home.

When everyone else has fallen, I will still stand.

I will not give up till the bitter end of life, no matter what happens or who dies.

I will fight and never stop fighting.

And nothing will stop me.

Even when all hope is lost and there is nothing left for me...

I will fight time and time again.

Because its the only way to live.

And when I'm at my last life and on the verge of death,

I will not cry or scream

I will lift my head to the sky with pride and spirit.

The world is a cruel place..... But it is also beautiful.
