Penance

I’m better off better lost; I don’t want their sharp eyes,
I’d rather live through hell than be strongly denied,
Been doin’ it anyways so it’s hardly a surprise,
I’ll die a silent death with no love to comply.

I am destined to roam all alone through this life,
When you’re meant to bear loss, you never come unscarred;
I’m not meant to be free, I was born in a scam,
If I’m not letting go, I might as well survive.

Sometimes I feel so lost; I lose sight of the sky,
I can live through the worst but I can’t save my life,
I might burn like the sun, but inside I’m so dark,
I am tired of rejection, I hide behind black lies.

Giving up on the young, I feel fire ignite,
I will walk on my own, I’ve accepted it at last,
That this one was not meant for me to live in right,
That this life I’m stuck in signifies my penance.
