A Desolate Existance


Life is too sad, the world so bleak 

I wish for color in a world of grey 

Tears fall no matter how much I blink 

 

My mind so damaged, my eyes gush, not leak 

To survive I pretend my life is just a play 

Life is too sad, the world so bleak 

 

My soul is too heavy, I scream as I sink 

Why breathe when you have nothing to say 

Tears fall no matter how much I blink 

 

I lost my reason to live, my life’s link 

I can no longer keep the demons at bay 

Life is too sad, the world so bleak 

 

So tired of being looked at as “that freak” 

I’ve given up and I know that it will be okay  

Tears fall no matter how much I blink 

 

If I am dead I no longer have to think 

My memories alone make me not want to stay 

Life is too sad, the world so bleak 

Tears fall no matter how much I blin
