I Want To Live

I want to go with a group of friends on a quest Find the wonders this world has to give Instead I’m in homeroom taking a test On a life someone else went out and lived While I am not able to live my own What's the point in life if you aren’t guaranteed to enjoy it Everyone’s face is in their phone While a sunrise has the outside lit There was a time I wanted to die I feared I no longer had a reason to be here But that was all a lie Because dying was never the intent of my fear My fright came from the thought of not finding something to love But I have fallen for sunrises and skyscrapers Beautiful waterfalls and elegant white doves And amusement parks filled with screams of joy from the children on the roller coaster I Never Wanted To Die I Just Didn’t Know How To Live
