As I Walk

As I walk through the darkness
Of this dark forbidden death planet
I shall fear what comes my way
Can’t trust a damn thing
All I can do is turn and run
To try and out run
to try and hide from the misery
That comes with this damned thing called life.
This hell of mine that is shared with others
Others who don’t know my pain enough
No matter how hard I try to explain
They shut me away and banish me
Like some kind of evil creature
shun me like I was a worthless bum
Or some diseased hurt creature
People wonder why people commit suicide
why there is so much pain and misery that comes with this planet
People… humans are what causes this hell on earth
the pain and misery of this death planet
Dear Lord, just take me away
What have I done wrong to deserve to be here.
