My Daily Struggle
I wake up miserable each morning
Being mad at the world around me
For having to exist in this forsaken life
That for me is only hell and misery
It seems most choices that I made
Led me farther and farther astray
Now I’m lost in this forest of depression
And I have no idea how to find my way
In this world full of so many people
Why is it that I always feel I’m alone
I pushed away anyone who tried to care
With the heartlessness that I had shown
Inside I’m scared of loving someone
Life has shown me they will always leave
So why let them get close to me
So they can hurt me causing me to grieve
Maybe it’s as simple as that for me
If someone is going to break my heart
Why not let that someone be me
And never let them love me from the start
Or is my mental state of mind deranged
And there is some medication I should take
It this some disorder thats gone undiagnosed
Causing this life of hell I can not shake
