A Beautiful Quitting
One day I woke up
The fire is gone
the lights are out
I can't talk to anyone
One day I woke up.
The world told me I wasn't good enough
all those years of hard work
I thought I was tough
One day I woke up.
The dreams I had for years
was killed by serpents in my head
I looked down at my dream's graveyard in tears
One day I woke up.
Worthless like an empty bookshelf
I can't dream anymore
I don't want to fool myself
One day I woke up.
Uncertain of the road to take
Staring blankly at the ceiling
I can't get up.
One day, I don't want to wake up.
I let go of the dreams
I let my demons win
I quit.
