So It Is

So it is
So it shall be
Here I stand
So full of misery
Counting the days
Until my demise
Awaiting my passage
From this world of lies
Everyone says
That I have a gift
But yet none are willing
To give me a lift
Your talent is great
You are so bright
But I see my fate
And something ain't right
For all that they say
For all of the praise
Words without action
Don't help me to raise
Myself up from this
Dark dismal hole
Words will not free
My tormented soul
So here I am
Alone on a ledge
Looking for something
To give me an edge
To jump and to fall
Or raise up and soar
I've said it quite
A few times before
This life ain't worth squat
Without any greed
