Set Me Free

When everything dies there's nothing alive,

I don't need anything, just 'tryna survive.

My destinations never arrive,

Sometimes I don't understand why I'm still alive.

As my needs continue to deprive,

I don't know if I'll ever revive.

Because if I leave, everyone will thrive,

I just wish what was stabbing me wasn't a knife.

Everyone seems to hate me,

Like they don't care where I'll ever be.

I know that I will never be free,

But it's more than that, I guarantee.

It's not so small, it's the third degree,

Because when I look up, I wish to say 'we'.

I don't know what may be the key,

But all I want is just to be.

My heart's dead but my mind's awake,

And never seems to give me a break.

All my contents just continue to take,

When I step out I feel so fake.

Just give me a break, for heaven's sake,

Don't remind me my life's a big mistake.

All my worries creeping up like snakes,

As my world continues to shake.
