Pains of emotional life
Life reaps your heart like a knife
Knife dipped in embittered strife
Strife, a grudging ghost, please have pity
Pity and let me breathe
breathe an untroubled life
Life brings out the cats and rats
Rats fighting to take your dreams
Dreams time of want achieved
Achieved to be taken away
Away because of selfish greed
Greed is easier to reap
Reap through humans pain
Pain and breath taken away
Strife, please stop knocking at my door
