Life is so horrible, ugly and cruel
There is so much death, destruction and disaster
With the worst humans chosen to rule

There are so many reasons to give up and stop moving
I am growing up
But nothing is soothing

I am confused and scared
How can so much bad be in this world
I cannot comprehend human actions

We are giving only seconds to live our lives
In it we are knocked down and crushed
We are petrified and everything is rushed

Sometimes you will sit in an empty room and wonder why you bother

I will tell you why

Remember your first kiss? That feeling of belonging

That time you laughed so hard you forgot how to breathe? Happiness like no other

When you watched a film with your parents and felt so loved!

The moment you accomplished something you never thought you could? Don't be modest, think harder!

What about when you felt so depressed and lonely, you thought happiness would never show their face again

But they did

This world is an ocean rapid, we are only but a fish

We can map it how we choose and do what we want

You will fail
You may fail a thousand times, but you will get up!
Because you only ever fail when you give up

Never
Give
Up
This is not exactly a poem but i just want everyone to see the beauty in the ugly. Bad things happen, but if you accept life for as harsh as it can become. You can then understand how to be happy and thats why were all here. Keep going, never give up and never look back.
