People's Curse
He entangled himself so much in that life
Now he didn't know quite
What was right
And every night
With all his might
He'd cry and fight
And kick and scream
His nightmares won't just let him breathe
Even in the day
Is not that gay
You know he may
Have lost his way
But no one cares
He needs someone to find him
To help him, to guide him
"Reach out", someone inside reminds him
But he rolls his eyes
"They're all just lies,
The voices, the cries"
It's not him who said that, it's the people who made him revise
"Just an attention seeking whore,
And nothing more
So we'll just snore
At whomever knocks on that door
And when shall we score?
When he's on that shore
To complete that chore
The last and the ultimate"
"Alas! It's too late
That person was great
But he received so much hate
From his own "mates"
Was it just fate
Or did we really berate
And put that weight
On his already miserable state?
Didn't notice his troubles
Or how much he struggled
In fact we made it worse
We filled that pool to the top, in which he was immersed
With all our insults and all our words
So he could no longer survive our deadly curse
So now he'll just traverse, to another universe
