Why do people?

Why do people?

Ask these questions before you turn in, a passion turned obsessive and which you cannot win. They set souls and rules that you cannot bend, holes none shall mend. Taking into consideration you tell the story, why do you think that way? Yes yes because the host took not care of thee, make yourself known and useful.

Tear you down and put you in the spotlight, top flight or made right? Killings and drilling of your breath, never realizing you've been set. Hurt by the facts and built by regret, you. You were made from convince and lack of stack, True. Hope aint here she left, she was through. Knots in your chest make you feel a threat, Noose. Tell them people youre at rest, Move. 

Legs numbs, head gone haven't felt it yet. Duce, heartbreak hotel aint needed. Youre life was supposed to be defeated, But you kept asking and leading. So they gave you oppsticals and you never repeated, They tried to get you to pray but you never let the seed in. You kept wonder wandering healing hollering, you never played sports but you kepts score and all the voices, faces got real boring. So took the door off the door henge and made them pay for it, No else wants to watch until you fall off the stage. They want to see you mad and enraged, you smile and jump back up. You then at this old age ask people what the ?!!
