Tell Me Life

Dear life I have no idea what to do next Each day has become more pointless I ask myself What I’m supposed to do But my question Still remains unanswered At this point It feels that I’m only living to survive You seem as if you’re punishing me But for what All through my childhood I did what I was told I worked hard And I didn’t complain Everything was perfect So why did you flip me upside down All I ever learned You reversed All I ever knew You ripped away from me There’s no more comfort And no more true happiness You took it all away Instead you brought change The bad kind You brought pain, misery, and sadness And threw it all at me at once So what is the true purpose in life It has become very hard to see Grow up Try to survive on your own Just to die in the end That’s what life has become Some have it better Some have it worse But it’s all still the same So tell me life What is it I did wrong Please tell me Because soon enough I may just feel like giving up I won’t want to have to put up with you any longer So life Either you get rid of the constant pain and hurt Or I get rid of you 1/3/2018
