Giving Up

My life can get no worse I have lived it past its time,

Now I have to go and seek what I need to find.

No remorse for any thing that I have ever done,

I am an angel, I am a King, I am God’s Son.

I have finally cracked under the pressure I can not take anymore,

I have everything I could ever want but still I am emotionally poor.

Shattered dreams and locked up thoughts is all my life has been,

Can’t take the burden of losing a love and living this life again.

Tried to fight it on my own but the pressure was just too much to bare,

I asked life to apologize and it didn’t now it seems unfair.

Blurry thoughts run throughout my head in effort to keep me confused,

It has worked for so very long- my mind has been abused.

Take me away from this place I ask for it offers nothing but evil,

I shall not return for I have gone, my life will have no sequel.

In an effort to find tranquility in love I have seperated my heart,

With the will to not go on in life Love has torn me apart.

God never answered my prayers or heard my cries in a desperate plea for help,

Seems his back was always turned or he was busy helping someone else.

So I turned to me for the answer because I thought I was strong enough,

Turns out I was wrong and this battle was way too tough.

I feel it ripping me apart and killing me softly with its indiscreet attacks,

Makes me beleive I have a friend then stabs me when I turn my back.

All I have ever dreamed of is being happy and living good,

But life has had other plans and it has hurt me all it could.

I drift away in my utopian world where everything seems so right,

Then I wake again and realize that I’m back and continue with my fight.

My heart has given up on happiness and my mind seems to be next,

Spiralling downward in an endless hole wishing that someone would break this

hex.
