Cruel

By Ruby Wu

Reality is cruel. 

現實往往殘酷

People trust the bullies and not the victim.

人們相信霸凌者 而不是受害者

Every time I am facing difficulty. I became negative. 

每次當我遇到困難 我變得很負面

I know why. I have two words for you. High School. 

我知道原因 我有兩個字給你們 高中

I have seen the ugliness of humanity in judging others by appearance. 

我看過最醜陋的人性 外貌是批判的唯一準則

I did not do anything wrong. 

我沒做錯任何事 

I only felt danger and know what it means to be afraid. 

唯一的感覺只有危險 還有 什麼是害怕

I am just one voice among the many victims. 

我只是眾多受害者之一

I have deeply felt what loneliness is. I have cried at midnight, and hated going

我深刻感受到什麼是孤獨 每晚以淚洗面 討厭上學 甚至懷疑活著的意義

to school, and I doubted whether life was worth living. 

This vicious circle makes me unconfident and introverted. 

這個無限的循環使我不自信和內向

I know. 

我知道

This world is not as beautiful as a fairy tale. 

這世界並不像童話故事完美

People are lonely, even if they have companions.

人們是孤獨的 即使擁有陪伴

You might believe as long as you are brave and kind enough, someone will come to save you.

你可能相信只要你夠勇敢夠善良 就會有人來拯救你

But I know I can only depend on myself; only I can save myself.

但我知道我只能靠自己 只有我能拯救自己
