Existing

Why do I continue to do this?

The reasons I hat myself

I make a list.

 

There's a difference between living

And what I choose to do

But I think my period of living is through.

 

I choose to exist

Life; I never did resist

Until this point and beyond

I am not too fond.

 

So what would you choose?

A long life of misery or a short life of joy?

Some say a short life is a life lost

But I choose to lose.

 

My skin I bruise

It's you I confuse

But you'll never feel the same

As I feel about you

If you do then give me a clue.

 

But I'm almost sure you don't

So right now I'd like my life to be through.
