Life is a bad joke,
Told by a cruel individual.
You keep telling yourself it gets better.
But the truth is, it only gets worse.
The problems you deal with as a child,
Are preparations for those you deal with as a teen.
Those you deal with as a teen,
Are preparing you for the life of an adult.
You tell yourself it’ll get better it has to.
But truth be known it’s just the beginning.
It’s the beginning of an end.
And it’s an end you’ll soon desire.
Momma always said, “Life’s not fair
And whoever told you it was, lied.”
But she should’ve told me also,
Life has no attainable desires.
Why do we even try? It does no good.
We can only get so far, for it sees all.
It is a powerful thing with godly powers.
And will never allow you to achieve your dreams you so desire.
They say what doesn’t break you,
Will make you stronger.
But each time it tries,
It takes a small piece of something deep inside.
Then one day, you open your eyes to see.
And find all that’s left, is one single piece.
But it’s not done, that’s not enough.
It comes back and leaves you with none.
You find yourself empty instead of whole.
It took all the pieces of your soul.
The sad thing is, you really don’t care.
Because your tired of the struggle to get nowhere.
What do you do now? I will tell you, you wait.
When finally it’s ready, your life it will take.
They’ll say it was suicide, but you and I know the truth.
It’s called the demon of life and it’s coming for you.
