People say don't judge a book by its cover,
but they do anyway.
No one gives a shit about the person they hurt, make fun of, or ignore.
Hypocritical world we live in.
"I would never!!” is what everyone hears but the truth is the opposite.
Why would people hurt the ones they supposedly love?
Why would people put down the ones they supposedly envy?
Strange, the way people perceive pain or pleasure or love.
I've lived a life full of pain, full of deceit and full of loss.
And yet I continue to try to find the tiniest happiness that would make my life worthwhile,
But to no avail.
I postpone the inevitable, for the sake of giving what I have learned to those as misfortunate as myself, but why?
There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
There is no winning lottery number.
How long must one endure the suffering and pain?
How long must one live life knowing that this day will be identical to tomorrow?
Don’t judge a book by it's cover.
But you will.

Well said! Heavily felt... Whether they know it or not, people are, for the most part, stereotypically-subservient! Don't judge a book by it's cover - use it to smack some sense into them ;)

Well I guess let me be the first to comment on this. There are people who have roses and peaches handed to them and who think life is grand – Fuck you – This isn’t for you, cause you will never comprehend. This is a rant for all those who have had a rose placed into their hands and it suddenly turned to shit.

And there's the other ones who seem to enjoy putting a rose in your hand, just to rip it out and cut you open! This whole fucking world is just a game...
