My Life


I am scared to look at life beyond now It is time to cut my flesh so it can take a vow To never let a piece of metal Defy becoming the devil For I have let becoming a lady Stop me from tending to my heart that’s achy And have placed my soul in the hands Of someone who stands beside me and chants I hate you but love you tenderly That’s something that stays in my memory Fighting to live the ultimate life Comes down to burglarizing The one person I can look in the face and apologize to I am on fire while being displayed on a barbeque I am nobody as of right now But in church I am Gods’ child somehow I do not deserve all the pity For I cannot help that I was not born pretty And that knife that’s embedded in my throat Was put there for me to gloat The one place I need to be is off of earth I am going to put my existence in reverse My last result is to die It’s time to go to heaven to testify Why my bed should be placed in the sky I am uncertain what it means To have dreams I am stuck in this body And I am really sorry I am tired of crying I would rather go hiding That cross is where I belong I am scared to look at life beyond now But this time I am ready to vow To death with that gun placed on my head But do not worry my story can be read.

Are you still alive? You've captured my thoughts and feelings. I am in despair. I don't know you, but I love you. I feel your pain.
