I'm in Hate with Life

I'm in hate with my life,
It shows me nothing but grief.
It laughs in my face and tells me to quit
To grab the gun and say I forfeit
To surrender my soul to the hounds of hell.

I look at my life and think, "Why not?"
"What's in it for me to keep living this way?"
"Pain? Misery? Loneliness?"
Nothing but cold tears and burning hatred.

It seems so unfair to see people happy and content,
As I walk around with a mask on
Smiling and laughing like everyone else.
While all I'm really doing is screaming on the inside.

"Just take the pain away!"
"I'll do anything, I swear!"
"You want blood?"
"I'LL GIVE YOU BLOOD!"
"Just make the pain go away!"

But life is cruel.
It doesn't want my blood,
It's wants my dignity,
My self-respect,
My happiness.

It'll take, and take, and take some more.
Until I'm lying lifeless on the floor.
