Suffering

A broken soul burdened with hate, 
No matter how hard we try we can never beat fate, 
There are fake friends and people who will lie, 
People who will laugh at you and criticize you when you cry,
We are all alone here on this earth , your place in this life depends on your worth, 
The poor get forgotten while the rich do the forgetting,
The amount in your bank account is what does the splitting,
They will pretend to be your friend when they need a place to sleep, make a mouthful of promises and not one will they keep, 
This world has grown dark with to many refusing to see, 
They say this all started with just two people, a serpent an apple and a tree.
How have we fallen so far and become what we are here today, 
This life is a game and I've just grown far to tiered anymore , I no longer wish to play,
My mind never stops it races through each night, 
A battle within myself and I'm loosing this fight, 
Trying to be strong with no hope left in sight, a future so dark with no option for light, 
I'm a broken man that writes these words for you all here to see, 
If you want to see defeated and a failure then look no further , just look here , and look upon me!!!!
