It's been 5,860 days since I first saw the world.
Since I saw my loving mother and father's eyes as they cried of joy for their first born.
There was hope in them,
I think I recall.
They dreamed as to what I'd become.
They thought about my future, thinking how happy and successful I'd be.

But 5,860 days later, my future has no success in sight.
16 years old, still going nowhere.
I am not happy, like they dreamed.
I am fucked up and broken.
From their own doing and the world's.
I wish I could have more to offer them.
Maybe in another 5,860 days I'll have a change of heart.
Maybe I'll be successful.
Hell, I'll Maybe even be happy.
