Part of me wishes I could be a different kind of sinner,
Walking through life, I can never be the winner.
Blades have kissed my skin in hopes to give me what I need,
In a world surrounded by people filled with greed.

The weight of the world upon my fragile heart,
Torn apart, shattered pieces, falling apart.
Each breath I take feels like a burden to bear,
As despair engulfs me, I'm lost in this despair.

The echoes of loneliness fill the empty space,
Aching in my chest, yearning for a warm embrace.
But the world around me is cold and unkind,
Leaving me to wander, lost and confined.

Every smile is a mask, hiding the pain within,
As I drown in sorrow, the darkness seeps in.
The tears that I shed are a river of despair,
Washing away any hope, leaving me bare.

In this cruel existence, I'm a prisoner of my mind,
Haunted by regrets, the past I can't rewind.
The dreams I once held, now shattered and torn,
Leaving me feeling empty, forlorn.
