Complex desires have wrapped my mind,
As I start to search for something,
I fear I’ll never find.
I look in the mirror
And yell a curse,
My hopes are nothing if not perverse.
For I hope for love,
I hope for life,
I hope for joy,
And for joy, I strive.
But I know the silent song of fate,
Like grating beats, with gritting hate,
I know the pain I must face,
I know my stand in this endless race.
She, on the other hand,
She must always have it all.
She’s careless and reckless,
But she never seems to fall.
Her simple glance
And they go mad.
This kind of magic,
I’ve never had.
She’s but a devil in disguise!
I beg for you to open your eyes.
No one is so perfect;
No one is so kind.
She is flawed,
With a flawed mind.
She has you fooled,
She has no fear,
She’s the lion,
Not the deer.
She acts a victim,
Pretty but pale,
But she’s the bully
In this horrid tale.
I have cried far too many a tear,
Never once been held dear.
Never once been looked at twice,
Never once enjoyed this forsaken life.
So why must she?
Why always her?
Why am I disgraced?
And she, given what she never deserved?
Now, bitter echoes start to get in the way,
Like thundering storms and acidic rain.
It’s her turn now,
To feel my pain.
It’s her turn now,
And she must pay.
And that’s how it all begins,
And that’s how it all begins…
