Me Against the World

I went to bed on top of the world
Today  the worlds on top of me
it’s  me against the world
at   least that’s what it seems

i try not to feel hate 
and the pain that’s coming along
i wanna cry so bad 
cause everything seems so wrong
  
just yesterday i was happy
living life and well
then a boulder came 
and there i fell

helpless and under  pressure
nothing left to say
what did i do
to get treated this way

I guess people do change
Especially on me 
You close your eyes then open them
Its all gone at 1,2,3

But I still gotta live life 
Til its my time to go 
Even though im hurt 
There’s life there still I know

Life is tough. It does bring unwanted,unexpected,and unimaginable things our way. It is survivable, I know.
