Give Up

Sometimes when I say

'Oh, I'm fine'

I want someone to look me in the eye

And say

'Tell the truth'

Because my life is hell

One strife after another

The sun never shines on my side

It is always dreary and bleak

I'm too weak to shoulder it all

And I want to talk to someone about it

But I can't hunt anyone down who might actually care

I see no light in my future

Just darkness

I must find a way somehow

To make it all end

I send out messages of goodbye

But no one replies

No one begs me to stay

No one would care if I lay underground

Six feet under

Not a person on God's Green Earth

I've seen it all

I've tried to stand tall

I've played my hand of cards

And I'm done

I'm through with the crap

I'm ready to give up

To stop breathing

To stop everything

So I do
