Is it too much to ask for peace?
For me to live my life with minimal problems,
For me to accomplish my goals without too much drama?

Is it too much to ask for responsible parents?
For them to take on their roles?
For them to fulfill their legal obligations?

Is it too much to ask for success?
Because no matter what I do,
No matter the effort I put in whatever I do,
I still fail at everything.

Is it too much to ask for things to go right for once?
For me to achieve what I want,
For me to enjoy the fruits of my labour and suffering.

Tell me
Is it?

All I wanted in my life was peace,
All I wanted was a responsible parent,
A matured parent who will fulfill their obligations to me,
All I wanted in my life was to achieve my goals and live a good life.

But here I am,
A basket full of disappointments in hand,
Feeling worthless as the days go by,
Feeling alone and useless.

I never asked to be born,
I never asked to exist,
But here I am,
Suffering due to the stupidity of a man,
Who has his brain scrambled by religion,
And its pathetic really.
