My life was a mess

It was in shambles,

It was like a game

Too many gambles.


Who could've thought

How unlucky I am,

To lose these pearls

That were always in my palm.


That was the moment

That was the change

Took me to the top

As fast as it was strange


I remembered a lot

Too much to bear

I was at my limit

I could no longer hear


There was a voice inside

Kept telling me to commit suicide

I held the urge

For as long as I remember


There was a demon inside

That I could not drown

For it learnt to swim

That thought was as cold as December


I had lost these pearls to bullets and tanks

Instruments of mass destruction

Made by man

To kill man


Why is this world so rough?

Why is this world so harsh?

Why is this world so unfair?

What did I do to gain this despair?


All I wanted

Was a last goodbye

Maybe even a cookie

Before they had to die
