Lament of a Disgraceful Soul
I wake up and find that I am still breathing
I am alive, well, and I am seeing
The world go by, and things happening
But does this mean that I am living?
I breathe but I let poison out
I see but filter good sights out
My being alive results in people hurting
I am a living being, but am I living?
I have hurt everyone who has ever loved me
My living in this world causes them misery
I am human in looks, but no one looks at me
Instead of living with me , why are they leaving me?
I deserve to die and not live another day
So I don't hurt people with my wayward ways
So that the world is a better place for everyone
With the darkness gone, the world will see a brighter sun
But I am scared to die, I was born a coward
So I am destined to live with regret filling my heart
That I couldn't appreciate love when I got it nor to give it was I able
Dying every second while clinging to this life despicable
