Everything Is Dying

There’s no escaping it
My life is in turmoil
I feel so lost
And definitely hurt
Love is a concept
An object of confusion
Hatred is understood
And seen too often
Pain, a reckless heartache
Showing dark feelings
Its crushing hearts
Seemingly endless
No, there’s no way out
My life is trapped
I’m spiraling downward
Crashing to the ground
Hope is fading
Faith is writhing
Life is crying
Everything is dead
Or dying
