When The World

When The World

A Poem by J. C. Koch
"

Feeling rebellious??

"

When the world sees fit to turn its back

Just forget it and keep on living

When the world seems all blight and scorn

Be kind and not unforgiving


Cuz’ in this world we’re all fighting

Some singing, some acting, and some writing

We all have our ways to cope with it

Life, the name we give this pile of s**t


When the world turns to look away

Stare straight towards the horizon

When the world gives up

Find something to keep your eyes on


Cuz’ in this world we all struggle

With all the burdens we have to juggle

But when we want to give up, we cannot

Because this life is all we got


When the world thinks you’re dead

In truth your just resting your head

When the world thinks you’re finally done

Show it you’re just getting started instead


Cuz’ it always seems like a race to the grave

Like death is the only thing we crave

So when the world is ending, remember

YOU CAN NEVER SURRENDER

I like this one too! haha- It sucks when people expect you to conform to their ways and don't consider that you might want to be different. If you want to do something, you should be able to do it without wondering what others will think about it. If I interpreted this wrong, I'm sorry. It's just me. I rlly like this stanza...

When the world turns to look away
Stare straight towards the horizon
When the world gives up
Find something to keep your eyes on

Awesome wordies :}
