You insult and put me down.
You threaten to take my life.
I say take it.
I say put your money where your mouth is.
Your words may hurt me but you’ll never see a tear drop.
Your anger feeds my flame.
You’ll never get what you want.
Your words may hurt me but I’ll never give you the satisfaction of seeing a tear drop.
Your words make me pity you.
You sad pathetic child
What an excuse for a human being.
You want to send me back?
Please do!
I never asked you to bring me here!
Are you feeling the burden of this life?
Oh I’m sorry…oh wait I lied.
You say you want to send my life.
Go ahead.
It would be a blessing for me.
You want riches?
Didn’t you know what may be shiny on the outside might be dull on the inside?
The best gift I can give you…is to let you live.
I swear the worst punishment for a criminal is LIFE.
That criminal will find a way to end their own life and you won’t have their blood on your hand.
Does it hurt you to see me laugh care free?
I can laugh till the day I dies!
No tears...none.
