If you want to save the world
Prepare for just bad news
You can not save the heartless and cruel
You can not change the unwaverable
You can not convince those who refuse to see.
You can not help those who do not ask
Your love means nothing to those who don't love you back
Prepare for utter disappointment
For it is not a 'you give and you take' it is a 'you give and they get'
There is no balance to them
No yin and yang
No give and take
Only get and take
And a sweet, innocent personality to fake
But it's all an illusion
You mean nothing to them
You keep wasting hours and hours
Doting on them, but only giving them more power
Power over you that gets to their head
An infectious disease
They now hold everything over you, and all you can do is plead.
Plead for them to stop
Plead for them to let this drop
Plead for them to leave you alone
You wanted to help, not feel hate like you’ve never known.
How were you to know this hate existed?
You’d grown up in a world where people always listened.
This is completely new to you
These collective hateful, restricting, and narrow minded views
You wanted to save the world.
But the world didn’t want to be saved by you.
