Let Me Live

Today was tough, I've had enough, I'm tired of carrying my burdens, I'm tired of everyone else's, Give me time, Time to breathe, I tell you, This is all I need, Let me live a little, Let me smile, Even if it's just for a little while, Let me forget about my sorrows, Let me forget about my pain, Let me forget about my anxiety, This all makes me feel insane, I just want to feel alive, I just want to forget, What will it take? For all of this to come to an end, Why is this life so demanding? You are pulled in every direction, Come here I need you, they say Come here, I need you too, the other one says Help me, here's the next, Listen to me, And it goes on, n on,n on, I just want to escape, I tell you again and again, I had enough, My heart feels weak, I've reached my peak, My eyes are hollow, My heart remains in sorrow, I don't want to die, Really, I tell you no lies, I just want to breathe a little, Even if it's just for a little while, Please allow me to smile,
