Broken

This world is so cold and lonely
Last resorts make it the only
World to beat you up inside
While ugly truths you try to hide
Nobody’s here for the children
When they begin life again
If ignorance really is bliss
Why won’t pleasant thoughts dismiss
The neglect of nights like this
When appearances cover like a mist
There must be more to this life
Another page in the book to excite
Another paragraph to redact and rewrite
Another way to save them from their plight
But nothing ever comes alive
Believing makes wishing a moment to cry
Odds are not your friends to try
So they stay awake and wonder why
Nobody came, helped, or even tried
To be the difference for just one night
The sound of silence screams of trial
While the only way to cope is denial
