Daily Battle

Sometimes I can't stand living, but i don’t want to die.

I don’t know what it is to have a life.

The world screws me over day after day

and my patience is wearing thin.

My inner rage is growing,

Self-hatred’s setting in.

Depression is overwhelming,

I think I’m giving in.

I don’t want to give up on caring,

but I’m finding no other choice.

Because in this world all i have is one

 small, singular, insignificant, unheard voice.
