Alive

I'm not really alive

I'm breathing

But not really living

How can I be alive

When there is no life

No light

Inside of me

All it is

Is empty

And dark, cold

And unfeeling

How can I be alive

When I constantly feel

Like I'm not

When I constantly feel

Like I shouldn't be.

I'm not alive

I'm fake

I'm not living

But quietly suffering

I want to be dead

But am too afraid

To leave my family

I know I need help

But I'm too afraid

To admit to myself

That I need help.

I may be alive

According to you

But in reality

I'm just like a ghost

A lost soul

Bound to the earth

For all eternity

Not knowing

Where I belong.
