Mathew Sturgeon Poet Rhyme

Reaching For Answers

Why can't I be happy in life?  
Is that truly too much to ask?  
I've been forced into depression,  
Where I can only sit and bask.  

It feels like I have no other emotions  
Left inside of me; I can feel.  
I'm lost in a state of numbness,  
Trying to learn how to deal.  

What is the purpose of this,  
A life that's well below par?  
With each day that passes,  
Life gives my heart another scar.  

Why does happiness seem to be  
Always just out of my reach?  
Depression built a wall around me  
That happiness is unable to breach.  

I have to ask what I'm to do  
With this wasted life I live.  
I've done all that I can do  
And given all I have to give.  

I'm tired of reaching for answers;  
They always seem to elude me.  
Would I be better off in life  
If I just ceased to ever be?  

I'm too tired to keep fighting  
This same old tiring fight.  
If my life were to finally end,  
It would be my only delight.
