M.E.P.

A misanthrope lost all hope then screamed fuck the world
Enlightened with the fact that life isn't full of pretty pearls
The darkness consumed his thoughts each and every day
Putting a strangle hold on his throat when his granny passed away

An empath did the math and equated what was making him so sad
It was losing the one who was the closest to him since he was a lad
He started viewing the world differently as if it were crumbling apart
Then he decided that he desperately needed to armor up his heart

A pessimist stopped giving a shit, adapting the philosophy of life's a bitch
He works over fifty hours a week and accepts that he'll never be rich
The prosperity he seeks is just a fantasy dream that won't see fruition
Wants to go back to school but knows he'll need loans for college tuition
