Where I'M From

I am from misery
From hate and dis-
respect
I am from the magma 
That flows deep wihin
I am from all the 
drowning lies
That build up, leaving 
you hopeless
Whose suffering and 
dying inside

I'm from the squinting 
eyes
To the hateful looks
That make you feel as if
You were a spider that 
got
Squashed and twist into 
the ground
With your nasty green 
guts and torn legs
And I am from the 
darkness that roams 
earth

I am from being the 
mis-understood
To being mis-placed
From the two-faced
And the criticized
I am from natural 
disasters 
Like earthquakes, that 
leave people homeless
I am from a world of 
mistakes

I'm from bein 
unsatisfied
I am from the left overs
That never got picked 
up
From the defiant ones
And I am from the 
attitudes of Hell
To the Devil's grin
I am from a world of ****
