Is This Living?

Will this black cloud,

ever shift from my head

Be replaced with sunshine

And make me feel less dead?

 

I can't weep anymore

I physically just cannot

My whole world is collapsing

I can take no more.

 

I want to be happy

But what is that anyway?

I don't think I've ever known

But this feeling's here to stay

 

So please, just take me

Take me away,

Away from this world

Find me a place to stay

 

A place where I feel no pain

A place where I can be

Left alone forever

And just be me

 

No I won't do it,

I am too cowardly

I guess I'll just stick around

For my life of misery.
