Been holding my breath for so long
I think I might've forgotten how to breathe
I can't seem to find a good enough reason to live when all that surrounds me is death
My life looks like a scene from a horror movie
God knows I hate those
So how do I learn to live when life resembles what I hate the most
"Stay strong," they said
"Be positive"
How do I do that when life's taken a turn for the worst
I don't know how to live
All I'm doing is just existing
Counting down the seconds till I take my last breath
It's so exhausting having to live a life where you're constantly in search of something
A rhyme, love, just something to believe in
I wake up every day hoping the ground would open up and let me in
I AM TIRED
