Real

The only thing I’ve ever know is how to be unhappy,

Happiness is not an option it always comes back at me.



When I smile it sometimes hurts have you ever known that pain?

Not physical but emotional being followed by a cloud always filled with rain.



My nights are dark and my days are long,

I keep on replaying that same old song.



I’ve got it bad but not from a girl,

But from the unraveling of an already fucced up world.



It gets no better my problems only escalate,

The end of this confusion is all I anticipate.



Not my death but the existence of all man-kind,

So everyone that’s ever doubted can feel a pain like mine.



Sentenced to a life of eternal damnation,

Like a prisoner in jail without the possibility of probation.



Like a cartoon character trapped in a world of animation,

Like a paraplegic that can never again feel physical relation.



Suffering for no reason continuously looking for an answer,

It’s like a kid dying from an unknown cancer.



Nothing good can ever come from the things I feel,

But if you listen you have to respect it because it’s real.
