Morning
I woke up this morning
realizing that I’m a criminal
It is a crime to be me.
As soon as I was born
there were bad genes, and
I was destined to be
no one, to cry to
no avail, so
tell me why
anyone should love me
when the day for me to speak
is so short, and I don’t feel
so articulate, no I
don’t feel like the day
is just, just because again
I woke up being no one.
It is a crime to be me
because I’ve done nothing, and
you don’t love me.
