the worst thing in the world
is waiting
and expecting nothing
and even then
being bitterly disappointed

the worst thing in the world
is having something you care about
taken away from you
with no chance
of getting it back

the worst thing in the world
is knowing
that everything is not hopeless
but bland
and hollow
and that your life will never be even a little bit
interesting

the worst thing in the world
is wanting to be with someone
but being unable to tell them
that you would really like their company
and knowing that they think you don't want them here

the worst thing in the world
is the world
and knowing
that you live here
