Born To Die

Born To Die
By: Tyler Ross

Creeping around the corner
I see death distorting minds
With no order breaking chaos
I turn cold shoulders
As I draw outside the lines
It’s hard for negativity to set
With neglect
I live within these walls
Can’t be settled as of yet
Closed blinds against judgmental times
I pen words as a release
To find ultimate peace inside my mind
I seem to pay for respect
Pushing for a steady check
Ready to die
There’s no fear for I choose to accept

We’re all born to die
During such turbulent times
I smile my best before a tear finds my eye
We’re all born to die
I stay true to my health and myself
Never questioning why I don’t see any wealth

We’re all born to die
My life won’t flash before my eyes
I kiss my mom and my dad goodbye
We’re all born to die
As the darkness seeps
No light will show
When they bury me six feet deep
