Dear Life
/There are so many things I just can't understand. Injustice and cruelty all across the land. Tell me please, who should I blame? Are you so unfair? Is this all just a game?
Do you purposely give us just enough hope to hang on? Is there even a god, or is that just part of your con? People praying in faith, yet living in fear. I'm asking for answers, but I guess you don't hear.
The population keeps growing while humanity dies. I'm still speaking my truth in a world that wants lies. How can rich men profit from other's pain, full of greed? How should we be judged by our hearts or our deeds?
Does it even matter when both are fucked up? Deed done for gain with a heart that's corrupt! Tell me life, what is it i should know? I'm surrounded by jokers, full of shit, acting out a show.
Don't give me signs. I need definitive truth! Don't speak in riddles just show me some proof! Help me understand why all these thoughts torture my head and keep me from rest. Tell me why I'm never enough when I'm giving my all and doing my best.
Why do I give my love to the heartless and where my heart on my sleeve? Why do people promise forever knowing they'll leave? Why is unending love wasted on people that's temporary? Tell me why is emptiness so heavy to carry?
Why do I see good in those who prove it's not there? How do I turn off my feelings and learn not to care? I break my own heart, giving to those who just take. How far can I bend till finally I break?
Just give me one reason life, why am I here? You know I don't pray but I don't live in fear. Full of scars and mistakes, still I survive, still I cope. Though I no longer believe in faith and hope.
Alone in my grief, watching as humanity dies and cruelty thrives. I'm tired. I'm empty. Ready to give in. Finally end this game I cant win. I don't want these convictions when I'm only judged by my sin!
Please dear life, will you let me go? Sweet death is waiting for my hand to hold! All this pain and these questions and the burden of truth, all will be buried if you'll just turn me loose.
