Almost Given Up

Life never has gone my way
Perhaps it is I who has led it astray
Everyday I place the blame upon others
Always knowing that I have brought it all upon myself
I constantly try and always lose in the end
My heart can never fully mend
Though I try to cover it all up,
With a fake smile or laugh
Life beats me down,
And I shan’t try to stand again,
Never again…
My spirit crushed, I won’t ever be the same
Forever shadowed with sorrow
I am not destined to feel the joy I see others carry
I no longer care, and it seems I am no longer needed in this life per say
So why must I live? I ask myself everyday…
