Lust For Life

No matter how much life hurts,
No matter how hard it squeezes your soul,
It grabs you by your guts 
and shreds you to bits.;

The pain is excruciating,
You wanna die, but just couldn't;

If it's an addiction of a kind
You would atleast try to give it up;
But if you are high on life
And have been born with this affliction --

You don't wanna give up life,
You can't just let it go!

You are addicted to life for life!
