Hopeless

Hopeless Sharon Maria Moemise I was borne to live and to spread the love Yet the life and the love got thrown right back I got bored and grew sick and tired thereof So I turned to the streets to live on booze and crack I soon found myself swimming down a pool of despair I never looked back, and got pushed into deeper mayhem Every move I made, every turn I took, I had my life laid bare I ran a lonely race against time and life, against all of them My flesh willed me toward healing, yet my spirit said nay I wander around, aimlessly scrambling in hope of a new fix Not a care for anything or anyone, till night turns to day. Lying in the street gutter, discarded like a dusty pile of bricks When love is out of reach and life's reach even further When all I have to show of myself is a picture of dejection I reached out, got kicked out, and wonder why I even bother Now I'm broken, spat out, a statistic of the universe's rejection
