Happy endings are obsolete.
All of these fairytales are lying.
Their half-assed stories are giving us false hope.
What's there to smile about?
We live in a world where  money overpowers love.
Where a kid will get killed
for the dirt bike she rode on.
We've forgotten where we've come from.
But everyone's rushing,
and trying to move forward.
We look to the future
instead of thinking about our pasts.
While they don't define us,
they created us.
But we hide them and conceal them;
skeletons are meant to stay dead.
But they're there, dancing and smiling.
Waiting until you slip up.
They'll come falling out of
your picture-perfect life.
And who will be there to
push them back in?
The monsters are under your bed
and in your head.
They creep in your closet
and inside of your heart.
But you'll close your eyes
to block out the demons.
One world full of
close-minded, blind individuals.
They'll turn their heads to the violence.
We're desensitized.
A media-fueled aggressive culture.
Nothing can change,
one will always hate.
Happily ever after is full of ****
in this ****** up story we live in.
Not trying to be political. Watched a documentary in my communications class and got kind of riled up about how horrible the world we live in is becoming.
