So sad
This life I’ve had
Nothing in the world
Ever makes me feel alive

Too bad
This life I’ve had
Reach out
Open my mouth to shout

You used to be there
To help me rise above this

Left out
Now I’m without
You used to be
Another part of me
Now you stand apart
And shiver from what I’ve become

Turning from me
What is this thing happening to me?
I used to be Heaven sent
You gave me voice to vent
I never gave in
To someone else’s sin
But I won’t repent
Until I’ve fallen, spent
Discontent
With where my life went

My downward descent

Life is hard and everyone is fighting a hard battle, someone else has it worse than you/me.

I try to hold on to those thoughts when life is getting the best of me.

You convey the disappointment with a powerful saddness, guy.
