THE WOUNDED

      I'm not happy with this life
Too much pain and too much hype
This world is not the place for kind hearted
Too much pretensions and too much greed

I tried to be helpful, supportive and fair
Yet people took advantage of me to my despair
I intend to do good things as long as I live
Now I am no longer hopeful I am disappointed

So I have decided to be rough and tough
I'll play their games and I won't stop
I'll beat them hard and teach them lessons
I'm done playing nice guy I'm now the Lion

I'm badly beaten and deeply wounded
I may be down but not defeated
I licked my wounds and endured humiliation
Tomorrow is mine I'm having my redemption

As I lay groaning, tired and helpless
I'll wake up tomorrow strong and refreshed
Because I have found a way to end my misery
I'll fight to the end and finish my journey.
