The Tragedy

It’s a tragedy when days become darker than nights,
When every second there’s another fight,
When you want to leave it all behind,
But you can’t because it’s all in your mind,
When there’s many options to choose,
But none work so it’s no use,
And to think they cared,
All that time and effort you shared,
But look at you left behind yet again,
Took a devastating blow to the chin,
Crippled you down to the ground,
Looking for help all around,
No one is in sight,
Your future isn’t looking so bright,
You had to turn the wrong way,
Why didn’t you just stay,
It’s too late for that now,
What am i supposed to do now,
You really did try,
But now all you can do is cry,
Move on make a new life,
Or you’ll continue to live this one in strife.
