Nov 2013
Insomnia flowing through my body keeps me awake
The perks my systems lacking is making my legs shake
Out of frustration I punch my head till my skull breaks
My bruised knuckles are making my hands start to quake
A life of struggle takes it's toll
And I'll be harboring my story until I'm very old
Because this world is filled with people who don't understand
That a starving cold child was not given a helping hand
So as a young teenager I became a man
And now a broken young adult I stand
I couldn't live a life of crime and violence
And expect not to grow up with a mentality of insolence
My mind is the definition of pestilence
But I'll keep on fighting because my heart is filled with vigilance
But how can I succeed when I'm expected to fail
Every time I exhale, I have no hope to prevail
Because when I breathe a piece of my life force leaves me
And I can see it drift away as if it doesn't need me
I'm a disaster of a person
A failure as a man
A demon as a human
A pleasure for the ******
