Sad

The strongest man is bound by chains,

The rich die with a million pains.

Never what it seems,

Running from my dreams.

As I look up to the stars,

Brought back to earth by all my scars.

Who is happy? Who is free?

You're all trapped here, just like me.

It's just too bad,

But why be sad?

You're getting just what you deserve,

To think you don't takes lots of nerve.

Breathing causes pain,

Life has such a drain.

The silent echo of your wails,

The splitting sound of dragging nails.

Rise to fake a smile,

Living in denial.

I bow down, I just can't stand,

Striving for a helping hand.
