Hard And Sad Life

It’s not my fault my life is a messy page
I cannot help being like a pen, and writing mistakes and not being able to erase them
I just need to write my own story in pencil and not let others write it for me
No one is going to pick up a pencil and just write my story
It’s just a stupid story anyways no-one would want to read it or hear it
It is not as good as everyone else’s story’s because theirs is a happy, romantic, funny and real story
