Cruel World

By: Rizki Sulistya

I saw him siting with a big smile

Wearing his pristine clothe

And unworn-out shoes

One happy boy

        I looked at him

        Wondering how happy he might be

        How wonderful his life as it is

        Not a single problem in mind

If life could give second chances

I would want to trade it for the world

I wish I was him

Words uttered from my mouth

       Only to realize a mistake

       My feet are now frozen forever

       I looked at him with the biggest smile on his face

       I realize a new world I met could be cruel
