Analysis of Slimeball
Dweeb, dufus, pervert
Bruised battered ego
Skeezeball, nasty little boy
Disgusting filthy little puke of a child
It's going to take everything within me to battle this spirit
The spirit of death which wants my life to be over and done with
They hated me. Maybe they still do. What is truth and which are the lies?
I feel less than the gum under a moved upon shoe
Stuck to the sidewalk
There is lifelessness left in my eyes from the pain of having to walk with these burdens of shame and error, the sin nature of man
I'm so weak
This is so dark
Where is God?
Please, Jesus. You must be real. Please save me. Have mercy on this torn, ragged, beaten and demented soul. Please. You must.
