If Only I Have To Stop
I have no words to describe
how excruciating it is
to be born with nothing.
On thorns of roses I stepped in,
These wounds are bare on my feet.
If only I have to slow down,
I run too fast yet pain is getting deep.
I jump off on this race
yet I got nothing to use.
I got my poor hands as a weapon
and still I always lose.
I see this really clear.
But far from my positive perspective.
This is cruel and worst
I just want to stop breathing.
If only I can utter a word
just to tell how I wanted to stop.
But I just can't.
I think I can't.
And I plea Him to save me
from this world I'm into
Stuck in isolated wilderness
I don't know what to do.
I lay down everything and I cry
Life is circling around the bush
I just want to die.
