Raindrops fall
The heart aches as the pain releases
And the mind begins to relapse
The eyes stare into the distance
Praying hopeful thoughts of the future
Attempting to make sense of this life
Pain in every fiber of an agonized body

Where can I go if I am not content in my skin
Where could I be without love for myself
And how could someone love me
Could someone love the man
If the man believes he is the devil
If the man believes he deserves the gallows
Rather than a kiss goodnight
Why does death entice
Even when you’re given everything you want
Never having to struggle

This is the confusion of life
Being eternally unhappy in a world that doesn’t care
Your disappearance is a flash in the pan
Your life a worthless blip in time
And though you want to believe people love you
The idea is unfathomable and flawed
No one could love a human birthed by hell
A human who could vanish and see the world improve
Death is the ultimate step up from life
This is the truth
Raindrops fall
And the world turns on
