Why should I live for another's true lies?
Miserable, in, a crowded room!
If, I would, have listened, to, my instincts, I would, have stayed home!
Now, I'm stuck, among, people, full, of rage!
Arguing, about who's, better!
While, I'm thinking, of, better days!
Someone, told me, no one, cares!
I should, have listened!
For then, my feelings, would, have been, spared!
War, and hate, are, all, I see!
The ones, with, less, are happier, and free!
We curse, our enemies, then curse, our friends!
For, if , I smile, I lie, to myself!
The ones, that do, the work, are, the ones, that, are robbed!
While, new generations, suffer, and try, to care, for, us all!
Did, you see, that bleeding tree?
The cries, of, the innocent, are, what, motivate, me!
The rain, still falls, while, the sun, is out!
I have, no real home, so, I wonder, about!
Will, you really, stop, and think?
For, all, I see, is death, around me!
