Never-Ending Struggles

I try to laugh, and live a little
Only to find myself punished
Once again, my life seems to end
With all the overwhelming blemishes

When refined, to this dreadful place
Is when my heart unfolds
Trashing and crying, serenity is dying
Life is a never-ending black hole

To strangers, I'm strong
To friends, I'm misunderstood
To siblings and soul-mates, 
I'm falling to pieces

I don't know why,
It became so easy to lie,
To say it's all fine,
When I'm losing my mind

To try to move on,
When it's all that you want
To attempt to fix the past,
Because mistakes happened too fast

But the regrets don't repent
And the sadness won't cease
So why even try-
To be happy in the least?
