This World

This world is mean
This world is cruel
This world just can’t keep its hands to itself

It’s a test of moral values
It reveals who you really are
Or who you’re not,
Or who you want to be.

It reveals your level of respect
For self
And for others
But more importantly yourself

I was curious
But not that stupid
I took one step forward hesitated a little
Then backed up enough

There was enough space
Or so I thought.

It was a test
And I failed
No matter how you look at it.

I wasn’t the worst but
They won’t see it in that light.
I’m just as bad as any other.

To some extent
I don’t regret failing
For I gained a lot of experience.

Experience is the greatest teacher,
It makes its students wiser.

I know now what it’s like
I know how much this world respects me
I know now how this world goes aroud.

But what I don’t know is who I am
Who I was
Who I want to be
And who I will become.

And I guess that’s why I failed that test.

I am looking for me.
Can you help?
I am one
And I am not ready for what this world has to offer
