You Are

You are dark and joyless
You wonder whether or not tomorrow will come
You hear death
You see dead people
You want to the world to stop
You are dark and joyless

You pretend to smile
You feel like an outkast and loser
You eat peoples souls
You worry about talking to people
You cry yourself to sleep every night
You are dark and joyless
