"That's Life?"
They say, "That's life."
when things are bad,
and you feel as if
nothing is worth while.
Why does that have to be life?!
Why aren't I free of torment?
Of sadness and stress
and a feeling of loss and emptiness?
Life is only once,
why am I supposed to be miserable?
Why does society say
that I need to be empty.
I live everyday for others,
never for me, or my wants.
My needs are never fulfilled,
and never have I felt complete.
I'm stressed and tired,
the world turns, but I don't have time to see it.
Because if, God forbid, I stop and breathe,
I'm a failure.
Well, if I'm a failure for breathing,
then maybe I'll stop.
End the pain and sorrow now,
because this life...ain't me.
