The Truth I Live

Born a mistake in your eyes,
made to grow believing your lies.

Time goes on but my pain does grow,
why I am here nobody knows.

Everything I touch burns to the ground,
even my loved ones I can not keep around.

Torn on the inside by the truth that is me,
and always feeling nothing I will be.

Cause if the one who made me hates me so,
then so does the world and now I know.

I know I am a joke, a mistake, a lie,
and this is the truth I live with till the day I die.
