Every day is a horror story.
Of this, I am very sure.
You hear of families, friends,
Dying in the most horrible ways possible.
In an accident, a brutal killing.
An accidental death
Or so they say, allegedly.
When will this end?
I'm tired of turning on my T.V.
And hearing that someone else has died
I wish I was still in an ignorant bliss
Why can't I run from the pain of it?
Is this feeling only from me?
I've been sheltered most of my life
I've had to figure most things out for myself
Haven't we all?
I'm tired of being "independent"
That's weird, I know
Life's full of horrors, all by itself.
Daily.
