A Hard Life

Sit in the dark
Deep black birthmark
You can’t see it there
But it’s the mark I wear
The choice to have it was not mine
It grows blacker over time
Doomed to death
When life’s still left
Alive outside
Dying inside
Empty and hollow
The devil-I don’t follow
I live my life my own way
This is how I came to stay
Telling my tale over these few lines
Finding a word that rhymes
Works with my story
Powerful, simple-no glory
Destined from day one
I’m here to outshine the sun
And when I’m done
Then begins the fun
I love to live
But I don’t live to love
Something’s are too much for me to give
I’m trapped like a caged dove
Set me free
Let me be
I shall fly high
Until I die
