We don't even get a second delay
A kid like myself, age seventeen
Cant even enjoy my day to day life
Instead, I spent my final hours fighting
For something I didn't even cause
Instead, I end up mounting my actions
Dealing with only my last nausea
Why are we fighting?
We are not Slaves
God has taken away from us
Our life, Does it have to be this way?

A thick spray of blood is all that remains of my friend
it is a sweet crimson colour
I'm hungry
