Earth is a mistake. Life is a mistake. Earth is a prison. Life is a prison. Take my negative thoughts to the grave. I reject your common humanity. Keep on searching. You’re the keeper of nothing, the earth has turned to flames. Searching for something across this earth. Everything you taught me, everything you promised me was true. I have no patience. I have no faith. I have no hope for you. Life is prison. You’re not worth knowing. Trapped forever.
