The Pain of Living
there’s something so painful about living
i’m too scared to die but im too scared to live
i feel my world closing in, but there’s no alternative
each day is a war zone and I have to be a warrior
but it’s not the life I’ve chosen and I just want to give in
my wrists are sore and the blood has been drawn
my head hurts but my heart aches for more
I long for a day of nothing hurting,
but I know that’s just the pain of living
