Pathetic Life
Looking at my life as an adult
I can say that I grew up just fine
At least for the most part
But regret just seems to keep creeping up on me
The ring that I’ve envisioned in my mind
Just seems to disappear a bit each day
Simply because I’ve lost
The most important thing in my life right now
I wonder why it is that I’m still able
To move, to feel and see everything
Because pain is the only thing left here for me
At least that is how it seems now
No matter how hard that I may try
To love, all I seem to do is mess up
So why should I even continue?
My link to this world is fading
Rapidly, and I don’t know how long
That I can last here…
To even move a little bit right now
Is taking a whole lot more energy
Energy that I can say
Is energy that I frankly just don’t have right now
This terrible feeling in my heart
Is constantly stabbing at the walls
The pain from within
Is just too much for me to bare on my own
I wonder why it is that I’m still able
To move, to feel and see everything
I don’t think my heart can’t take much more of this
The thought of going on frightens me
No matter how hard that I may try
My life is just continuing to burn out
So why should I exhaust myself?
All that will be left behind from me
Are the ashes of a pathetic
Life that’s been burnt out…
No matter how hard that I may try
To love, all I seem to do is mess up
So why should I even continue?
My link to this world is fading
Rapidly, and I don’t know how long
That I can last here…
No matter how hard that I may try
My life is just continuing to burn out
So why should I exhaust myself?
Let the world look down upon this life
Pathetic! It just burns out right here
Leaving the ashes behind!
