Nothing Matters

when life sucks, what do you do?
by: arianne bungay

i loved him
he loved me too
when you want to win
what happens when you lose?

she was my friend
i was hers too
what do you do 
when the world is out to get you?

nobody told me that life was this hard
that i had to fight for every breath
is this battle even worth
fighting till the death?

popping pills is a proffession
cutting is a lifestyle
sex is an addiction
that ive had for a while

people tell me that when your lost
your mind is gone
what happens when you come back
and everything turns out wrong?

the people i love left on a vacation
never to be seen again
its like they lost the war
and im following right behind them

when you have everything
and its gone in a day
how do you react
when it never comes back?
