Dead Or Alive

I am,now,my own coffin...
Moment by moment I die within...
My breathes are a real burden,I swear....
I am an object beyond repair....!

Pain is my possession,pain my friend....
Pain is that truth that does not end...
My life is now a complete mess....
As I stand like a mere witness....!

Was it my fault that I tried to be happy...?
Was it my folly that I was not lucky?
Why did my happiness run away from me....
As though I was its arch-enemy...!

What meaning does this life make....
When I'm dead though I'm awake...
Or,say,I'm living though I'm dead....
Shattered in the battle between the heart & the head....!
