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 ******
