I curse my birth

Hasan Johnson 1980 (Peoria Illinois)



I curse my birth
I hate the day I was born
I hate my name
To die would be nice
Can’t even do that
Words hurt
Black, fat
Can’t change can’t live can’t grow
I want a refund from the field where I was sowed
This ain’t living
Bill after bill
Chill
I even hate the way I feel
