There could have been better, Than the beast I've become. Maybe someone with motives, Whose hopes weren't undone. There could have been better, Than the person I am. Maybe someone with passion, And experience first-hand. There could have been better, Maybe someone who's loved. Not held back by fear, Who can grow far above. There could have been better, But I hardly exist. I'm eaten by pride, And constant loneliness. There could have been better, But that is not me. I'm drowning in emptiness, Washed up by the sea. I'll make room for the better, Give needed space to succeed. But I am empty of value, In the blackness, I bleed. There could have been better, I'll fall into shadowed seas. Drown away disappointment, My hollow life will cease.
