Shining Like a Burnt Out Sun

Shining like a burnout sun 
The sun gets dimmer every time I wake up.
I wish I could turn the brightness  off all together 
If I was selfish I wouldn’t care 
I’d take my pills until the day was gone. 
Truthfully Somedays I’d rather be alone than here all together 
Pretty crappy thing to say I know. 
But what’s the point. 
I get tired of the trying  
I wish I didn’t have people who gave a crap
I wish I could push them away and it be easy 
Honestly though the sun will still keep shining 
And I’ll keep waking up. 
Waiting for the sunset.
