Drowning Lessons

When I was younger,
I learnt the lesson well;
I was taught how to die,
How to embrace the flames of Hell.

And when I grew older,
I thought things would change,
Thought the world would be better -
God, was I deranged!

As the years passed,
Life just become worse.
I realised that this wasn't a life -
It was just a nasty curse.

The torrents of Life
Have began to kill me.
They rumble; they crash;
They don't want me to be.

Older still,
And still I want to die.
Life has taught me
What it's like to cry.

I took a lesson
On how to drown.
So crash on Life -
I'm going down.
