I Hate This World

my heart is now a stone,
all the good times are now gone,
in darkness am all alone,
out of my mouth yapping a bitter tone.

i don't know how to put it,
but here is my cake, as well have it,
am a rag before your holly eyes,
cant believe the past ages you've fed me with lies.

seeing a man cry,
leaves the world asking why,
the experienced only sigh,
for they have learnt to let anything live or die.

cross the river and ask me,
for below earth is where i wish I'd be,
where there are no emotions,
but only the truth n all confessions.
