Oh Life
Oh life!
I was on a ride of life,
going happily
around the beautiful world!
I had everything...
but then this dark hooded figure,
knocked on my door...
I am not the same anymore
because I now have everything but honestly nothing.
I curled into a small ball,
made a hard wall
I feel numb
Oh life, what have you done?
lost my hobbies
lost my gossip time
lost my friends
lost all the fun
lost all my pretty smiles
Oh life, are you happy now?
I wanna scream so loud,
I wanna yell, I wanna shout
I wanna escape this pain away
I do not deserve to feel it anyway,
or do I?
The salty tracks of the tears
line up my face like the scars on my ankles
I write the word "alone" but see it as "my home sweet home".
People tell me to get up
and that I need to fight
and that it's all in my mind
but I tell them, it's not as easy as they say
because I am stuck on this bay.
Oh life, you have won this race
I am still lost in the maze
I am in this prison
saving my fragile sanity from shattering
saving this soul from breaking
I am suffocating
gasping for air
but nobody's there,
gasping for air
but nobody cares.
A dark cloud hangs over my head
Dark thoughts swirl in my head
Oh life, you've made me into your Miss Negativity!
Oh life, why have you taken my joy away?
I was so happy before!
but not anymore
Oh time, I want yesterday once more
I can't live this way anymore!
When I was yearning for a big hug,
I heard my mom call me crazy
saying it's all disgusting
She tells me to stop all this nonsense
makes me believe,
Is sadness a privilege?
can't I cry?
do I not deserve to feel it?
Oh life I was one of your strongest soldiers,
the happiest one-
Why have you made me this weak now?
Oh life, you are such a big bad thief
You have stolen my precious childhood away
told me to find my way
Beautiful wind, take this pain away
Show me away
I am drowning in the dark sea,
I am suffocating
can't breathe
Can't you see?
I wanna break my heart into tiny pieces
Throw them into the waves
throw them away
But we need to live
We need to thrive
We need to survive
I need to get up
I have to break my shell
But I can't forget I fell.
Oh life I have failed your test
I tried my best
Help me, somebody help me,
Don't judge me, please
I am not crazy
just doomed in some misery
Just help me, save me from this black hole
And I'll find my way
I'll try my best, Oh life!
I haven't lost my will to win!
