Why is it called Life...???..........

Why do people call it life,
when there is nothing,
but heartache and hurt,
you go though the pain,
and then it makes you insane,
You don't want to care anymore,
Cuz you can not bare,
the pain and heartache you feel,
so I sit here crying writing this poem,
wishing that my life was over,
and that I couldn't feel,
cuz this pain and heartache,
is way to much,
way to much for me to handle,
I used to think that I had a hold on life,
but I guess I was wrong,
It is nothing but falling apart,
it was right there from the start,
"My Heart"............is/was getting tore apart...................
