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
