ONE DAY AT A TIME
I am smiling, but inside I am dying
At times I feel so depressed
It is difficult to get out of that slump
I am on the edge of the cliff looking down
Down to where my enemies are
And I want to jump…
Jump to my death,
This negative reaction towards me has to stop!
No one listens to me
No one understands me
No one cares
No one believes in rumors that are good anymore
They tend to agree with all the negative speculations
they have heard already
Drawing their own conclusions with a evil stare
This has to stop!
Stop judging someone else’s life
And start owning your own
For if you care about other people’s lives
Then you might as well end your life now
For it has no meaning…
You worthless pile of dung!
You prey on good people’s emotions for fun
Who cares what you think of me
So what if I do not smoke or abuse wine
I live my life the way I want to live
One day at a time
Pain comes from people
But I stood firm in the storm of personal humiliation
For I have to live
To educate the breath of a new generation
This is my declaration…
LIVE WELL AND DIE OLD
