What is life
Because I don't know
If I even have one
If I do have a life
It is nothing
Except darkness, pain, and loss
In my life
I just lose and leave
The people and places
That I love
First my father
Then my grandmother
And my aunt
Soon I left my childhood
As I moved away
From all I had ever know
And the people I love and care for
Then I my brother leaves
And I find out
My Memaw is dying
Slowly but surely
There's no stopping it
And even though
It hasn't happened yet
It is happening soon
I have to leave my new home
And the new people
That I love and care for
Once more
But this time
I will be leaving much more
I will be leaving my emotions
My hope, and passion
But I also leave my pain
And swear that's I'm done
Done feeling
Feeling nothing but pain
Because my joy leads to pain
So why care if it hurts
There is no reason
So goodbye human sympathy
Goodbye emotions and pain
And hello world of nothing
Nothing to hurt me
And nothing to get attached to
I'm done with getting hurt
What is life
When you have joy
But it only brings even more pain
