A half-filled cup,
What do you see?
A horrid life?
Or serenity?

Now what if some cruel ******,
Came and drank the rest?
Can you still find the good inside?
Does it even exist?

And this is the mindset,
That we teach our young:
Enjoy all the potential,
Before it is all gone.

And all the laughter we once knew,
Has become a painful sin.
All that's left is all the tears,
That we fight to keep within.

And so we take that empty glass
And smash it on the floor.
We let the shards into our lives,
So we can finally feel once more.

Fight for the right to live!
Fight for the right to laugh!
And when someone gets in your way,
Empty their ******* glass!
These are song lyrics that I wrote for my award-winning novel, "Curtain Call: A Death Metal Novel"
