Its Worth Living
did you grow up without any food
were you forced make a shelter out of wood
have you ever been hunted down
have you been beaten into the ground
what makes you think that you are ready to die
youve never seen death
never herd the agony in a mans breath
but you still want to die?
why?
and you say you shed tears
well thats funny compared to losing your tears
like the 18 year old gunner
shooting people even younger
and you dont even have a choice
but you do
so what you gonna do?
stop actin like you don got it
or im gonna take your little hissy fit
and take it to the east west and south
would that shut your mouth?
take your cuts and scars
and just let them heal under the night stars
come to relalize your not in strive
and understand these are the reasons to stay alive
