                        Life has taken from me
                        All that meant anything.
                        I am told to fly,
                        But I can see I have no wings.
        
                        All opportunities, all loves,
                        All friends and family;
                        Everything I counted on
                        Has turned its back on me.
                
                        My "Big Brother" has cheated me
                        One too many times.
                        All of this rejection
                        Is about to blow my mind.

                        And even though my God will never
                        Turn His back on me,
                        His Church is nothing but
                        A dysfunctional family.

                        Why does life leave me
                        With naught but pain and strife?
                        Why can't all these things join hands
                        And merely end my life?
