Trying To Escape

When I look around me
All I see is pain
People who are hurting
People whose life is built around the evil lain
People cut themselves
To try and escape
People hate themselves
And the life they are trying to shape
They try to form a good life
But when it doesn't work
They take up knives
And begin to work
Start at their wrists
Then to their throats
To try not to exist
While others gloat
And brag about the lives they're living
It only makes it worse
And while they are still trying
They can't seem to escape this curse
