Rappers in Despair

This poem is comprised entirely of the lyrics of rappers whose despair led them to their death.

Empty, I feel so goddamn empty
I just need a way out of my head

How long does it take to live a life?
I’m a bit surprised that I’m even still alive
Mixing uppers and downers, practically suicide

One day this shit’ll kill me, but I guess that it’s OK
I’ve lost all faith in a world so full of hate
I haven’t yet found a good reason to be awake
