A spirit upon me
Won't let me stand
Spirit of falling
Like being choked by a hand
My stomach's a storm
My head is a fog
Took pride in obedience
No better than a dog
Now I'm off on my own
I smile and play nice
Though inside I'm dead
And colder than ice
Keep things to myself
It cannot be said
I bottle it up
My friends have all fled
Fear of the unknown
Has turned into dread
A windstorm is howling
I feel faint in the head
Smell something foul
And drop like lead
Lose control of my bowels
Wake up ****** and red
Sometimes on the floor
Sometimes in bed
Clean the stains with a towel
This cannot be said
So hard to talk about
I just swallow the pain
Reminisce about my life
Going down the drain
But I do not complain
Too proud to complain
Still somewhat sane
Too proud to complain
There's no room for love
in times of war
I've been fighting a conflict
since the dawn of my life
I always wanted to love
To have a relationship
To get to know their family
and for them to know mine
but evil kept me single
I was never jovial
Carefree and happy
In fact, I was the opposite
careful and unhappy
and under attack
I don't love myself
and no one loves me back
So I don't believe in love
The kind between man and woman
I only know God's love
when I pray to heaven
Not to make me a winner
but to have mercy on me, a sinner

Wishing the air in the city was cleaner
but the pollution is dense
Wishing my stomach was less irritated
but it signals for prudence
Wishing I got my *** kicked in school by teachers
instead of the students
Wishing maturity and grace had a higher place in society
instead of youthful insolence
Wishing truth was easier to find and grasp
instead of ignorance
Wishing my dad taught me structure and discipline
instead of patience
Wishing my godparents taught me about God
instead of their disappearance
Wishing my rebellious phase ended with time
and I could stop being tense
Wishing I could simply live my life
without all the nonsense

We are abused but we know not guilt
We shoot to the sun, not to the ground
The hammer awaits us, but we don't shout
We are adorned flowers, thus we stick out
They tried to uproot us but we refuse to wilt
Tried to make us like they are, make us tilt
We have a problem with the way the world is bent
Our message has been written, wrapped and sent
They took our message and cross-examined it
Called us insane and tried to cure our insanity
Made us more manageable, an object to study
But they didn't see we are the corner stones of society
We are prophets the world sweeps under a rug
We get stabbed in the back each time we give a hug
The kind the world refuses to listen to
And gives us drugs to chew
If they could they would give us lobotomies
And electric shocks, like they did throughout history
Some say they are not ready
Not on our frequency
But in reality
They love lies and secrecy
For they are servants to money
Most of our parents were such
You must die to be free
Is that asking too much?

Rise of technology
is the downfall of morality
Choked by materialism
Witnessing the decline of society
Why am I afraid
of every unfamiliarity
Like a foreign parasite
is attacking my sanity
I want to live simply
Grow and be happy
but even the fools
are running circles around me
With their pomp and their money
While I sit and worry
I want to do something drastic
Without turning plastic

It's hard to go out
and make new friends
when you still haven't thrown away
the garbage of the past
How can you move on
when you still haven't given up
on the people who hurt you
Are people replaceable?
Let hell open up
and swallow the wicked
Leave only the good folks
A martyr's dream
for first they will **** us
As they abused us
While we pray to heaven
Not to refuse us
