Everyday is a new day,
"New life", they say.
A new chapter of thy story,
A new world for me to see.
At last, I opened my eyes
And saw the morning light.
The teardrops on my cheeks last night
Still flickers on the light.
Oh another day of sorrow,
And for sure there is tomorrow.
What is outside waiting?
I don't care, I am not listening.
Still I'm wrong in everything,
Whatever I do doesn't mean a thing.
I tried hard and tried harder,
Yet they are all good for nothing.
This creature inside of me
Wanted to be unleashed.
For it to spread the dark outside
That feeds in my soul of light.
So many reasons to live,
So much for me to leave.
This life I've always dreamed
Ever since I learned to breathe.
To wake up no more,
I sometimes wish.
Let me just stay forever
In my never-ending dreams.
'Cause when I start
To face the day again.
Seems like I am waiting
For a long lost train.
Sometimes I think about this world,
"How would it be like if I was not born?
Will life be like this for me?
Or will it just push itself to go on?"
All I know and I want for now
Is to wake up no more.
[ Another piece that I wrote when I felt that my sadness is eating up every bit of hope that's left in me and I never want to wake up the next day. ]
