Chapter 8 - Despair

Despair

I'm a hunter

Born in a gutter

I sometimes stutter

And I have this utter

Desire to kill

Any living thing with a will

To live,

I enjoy

and I destroy

My life is a waste

I can't wipe this slate

Clean, dirt in my face

I'm a disgrace

I don't need your sympathy

Empathy, apathy

I've seen it all

I've seen nothing at all

I'm used to it

I abused it

Exploit, Explicit, 

I was complicit

Implicit, I explode

Or, I implode

I'm ruined, I've rued

Missed chances

Hissing snakes

For my hair

Despair, despair

Look into my eyes

Look into my eyes

I'm a deception

A failed contraception

I breed, and I breathe

Lies, lies, 

Despair, despair

look into my eyes

Look into my eyes

That's how people die

And babies cry

That's how people die

And babies cry
