Save My Soul
These stagnant years aren't getting me any closer to my goal.
No money earned, no truths returned,
No melancholy song or joy.
Nothing has shown itself to me.
No one has revealed their love for me.
Only blessings keep me alive
And stop me from mistakes.
No one is my best friend,
Barely helping or thinking of me,
Even though I think of them.
My family lies,
Makes me despise
The truth and love when it really comes.
Everything has failed me.
This institution is a wreck.
There's almost nothing here for me.
Don't say sorry,
Change this world.
That is my hope
To help and love these people who I despise.
Humankind is cruel and unforgiving;
This needs to change!.
I need to start now,
But I can't because you are stopping me.
You are halting me from helping the world,
All the people on earth.
This institution is a wreck.
The law forces it to keep me in.
There are no exceptions for me.
There is no reason for me to stay,
But I have to because
The elders think they are the rulers of the world.
You think you should control me?
Think again!
You are the reason this world is a horrid place!
You are what creates hate
And establishes rebellion
In the hearts and minds and bodies of people like me.
You are why we don't coincide.
Your language is foreign.
Do you think we will get along
If we can't understand each other?
You are the corrupted humans,
We are just buggers.
Me and my kind are trash to you
Until we are 'reformed' into some
Broken man-made man-molded plastic.
You take away my fun and play
As if it would help me.
You build me up
In the worst ways.
Do we really need to learn from idiots?
Stupid people are dangerous
So we should not make them.
Yet you force it to happen.
Because you think it isn't true.
All because it's me who's telling you.
Your strictness is restricting me.
Let me make some mistakes.
I'm not that idiotic.
I do what I know is right.
Let me make some messes,
Take some chances, and
Have adventures of my own.
How am I supposed to love the life I am living
If there is no life for me to love to live?
You try to help me
But you don't try that hard.
You don't let me do what I want and even what I need.
Do you think this helps me? No!
These stagnant years aren't getting me any closer to my goal.
Save my soul!
