Losing everything
I made this poem off of an dyeing heart
Lost like I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere car in need of an kickstart
In despair
Wanting to give up and say “this isn't fair”.
I'm losing my ability to care
It's my worse fear,
I'm not sure what goes on anymore I play it by ear.
Commercials making it sound like your problems will go
Away with an nice beer
I'm tired of this garbage
To me it's worse than living life on the edge.
Broken to pieces in the inside
Fat on the outside
Obsessed with food, fried
I'm not amused
Childhood a little abused.
Started to think happiness is a fantasy
So much of this hypocrisy
Lost the battle but won the war
With an wish to an shooting star
Lost my heart to an crook
The winners had already wrote the history books.
