The world is moving too fast, I got left behind.
I'm all alone in this world is what I find.
I've never felt so small deep inside.
I'd feel embarrassed or ashamed to confide.
-
Adjusting my standards just to make ends meet.
Only receiving the bare minimum in a life, I can't cheat.
Maybe I deserve this cause I'm a self-absorbed, arrogant bitch.
No matter how hard I toil away, I don't get rich.
-
It's not like a simple life looks bad to me.
Just peer into my mind and heart, you will see.
In life, I just want something mine, stable and secured.
Instead, I get a family I didn't create where I'm constantly tortured.
-
Now I'm the man of the house because our life didn't give me a choice.
Being left alone and resting at times are my only chance to taste simple joys.
Witnessing and/or experiencing toxicity from relatives and even family.
And people still dare to wonder why I practice and engage in misanthropy.
-
Are my heart's desires really hard to please?
If I can't have them, I wish to cease.
Lord, help me see beyond this scope of darkness and give me hope.
I think I'm losing my mind; I'm nearing the end of my rope.
