Perspective Of An Outcast.

As a child I was filled with hopes and dreams
Before I learned the world isn't always as it seems.
Every movie I'd seen, turned out with a happy ending.
My life is so broken, there's no amount of mending
That could bring back the innocent, young child that once was,
I never saw that child again because
I woke up and saw that the world is fucked,
Going to any lengths just to earn a quick buck.
They say live life to the fullest
Because you never know when you die,
So tell me why I try to live and it ends up awry?
I looked up and screamed, “Why God? Tell me the reason!
I've never defiled anyone or been accused of treason
Against you or anybody else that I've known,
Why give me friends if I always feel alone?”
Then I realized God couldn’t help me, he gave us free will 
To say what we want and do what we feel.
So I guess it’s my fault my life is such a mess,
The feeling of depression, the perpetual stress.
People are always saying, “Why are you so mean?”
You haven't been through what I've been through
Or seen what I’ve seen.
You'll never understand unless you walk in my shoes
And see my pain and my emotional bruise.
They say the grass is always greener on the other side,
But how long before that grass grows old and it dies?
This isn't for fun or fame, that isn't the reason I write,
I do it so I can finally SLEEP AT NIGHT.
In this world, there aren't sides, only survival of the fittest,
You only have your life and the bullshit that comes with it.
Take it from me because I've been through the worse,
Make your life either a gift…or a curse.
