This Life So Tough


Sitting here thinking about life among everything I feel so tired from pushing but continuously getting nothing Nothings ever good enough for this life so though I'm Feeling degraded and hated wish I could be upgraded but it still wouldn't be good enough for this life so tough I'm Wanting to disappear right into thin air Just so I could leave this life so tough Wishing I could be faded or traded no more being hated it makes me so frustrated I've sat here and waited in this life they've created but my release is undated so forever I guess I'll be separated in a life overregulated But then. Stop. And suddenly, change the backdrop These people that I barely knew came in and stopped this catch 22 And no longer was it that life so tough How is it even possible that they saw ME as adoptable Sometimes I don't get it in this life so tough My dreams were splattered and I was told they no longer mattered because the truth was that it was just my thoughts scattered on the ground like empty matter "Nobody makes it on dreams" is what they told me before That's not what this life so tough is for But now I'm livin in what some could say is a fairytale, a book that would probably be a high priced sale And it all started in this life so tough My head is held high I'm looking into the sky not feeling like I just want to say goodbye I'm ready to look fear right in the eye and tell it to ruin someone. else's. life. And it's all because someone saved me from this life so tough
