You need to know this.


Let me tell you something, Something the voices refuse to admit. Something god and fate fail to show you. Something that if you knew, you're life would change. That dictator in your mind, That one who constantly reminds you, That you are not perfect, So flawed you are worthless, So useless that you waste space, That you need  to die, To Make the world a better place. That dictator has hidden the facts. Your eyes and ears sense one thing, the facts, But this dictator who wants your obedience, Has decided to make you feel worthless, To control you. That voice fails to tell you that, You only live once, And then you die. Might not seem like much, But its true. So stop giving your life, To someone who doesn't give a shit about you.
