Drowning
in my lack of self-confidence
I feel like a match
with nothing to light
just a burning flame
a tiny spark to the night
my fire used to roar
burning my obstacles to the ground
now it feels nearly impossible to get out of bed
life goes up-and-down

Losing
myself in this mind I call home
but home feels more like prison
and in here I'm all alone
barely making bills
hardly making ends
wasting away my life
playing pretend
life goes up-and-down

Drifting
in this body I was given
made bad choices never forgiven
hardly living
only surviving in the world
I should be thriving
instead I'm stuck in this rat race
constantly searching for love
in a world full of hate
does it even matter
when death is all of our fate
life goes up-and-down
Life is so fragile
