Pain

Marcus O'Neal 1986 (OKC)

The pain inside is hurting
I'm struggling to survive
I slit my wrist
I didn't even cry
Now the blood is oozing
Oozing from my veins
I can feel myself fadding
I think I'm going insane
There's people around me now
There pointing fingers and laughing at me
Now there trying to revive me
F*ck it give up
don't no one around here like me
They put me in a padded cell
God i'd be better off living in hell
My life is over all I do is fail.
