Born into this world

I was born into this world with pills in          
my hand
The pain of living so hard I could barely stand
Banished from society for not being the fairest in the land
More angst in my life than in a song by a heavy metal band

I was born into this world with a bullet in my mouth
The fear squeezing my throat so I couldn't scream or shout
I couldn't block out the voices because they were so loud
Nothing distracts me from the taste of blood from the bullet in my mouth

I was born into this world with a knife against my throat
The shine was nonexistent 'cause it wore a bloody coat
I'm leaving the world one last final note
And now it's time for the knife to plunge deep into my throat
