You Have it Better
People day by day tell me how blessed I am and how I don't see it
They say you're just a complainer and how I'm never misused or mistreated
They say people have it worse, starving while I'm as perfect as a love letter
Again and again all I hear is you have it better
But what they don't realize is that inner damage is just as important
While people are dying out there, Im dying in here feeling hopeless
No one can understand the amount of pressure that's upon me
It seems as if I have to feel sorry for everyone except for me
I wish the ones I call friends and family would take it serious
Rather than just talk about the children in Africa and how I'm oblivious
I'm much aware of all the tragedies and hardships and how serious I must treat them
But who's going to be aware of all the pain and the overwhelming amount of my demons?
no body
Which is why I've decided to take matters into my own hands
Look myself in the eye and request a demand
A demand to put a stop to all of the lonely nights and unproductive days
An end to all of hate thats inside of this haze
This haze in my brain is what fuels my evil
Its the reason why I've I myself have been doubtfuI
It's up to me to change my ways
To live up to these so called happy days
