Paved Out Road to Life

What is the point?

What am I looking for anymore?

I've been through countless of obstacles,

Searching and searching,

But left empty handed.

The negatives are beginning to outweigh the positives,

As if the positives ever had a chance of winning.

Truths are becoming lies,

Friends are becoming enemies,

And I'm breaking.

The ups are getting less,

Downs are increasing,

They said it would be a bumpy road,

But it's only been this shallow bump,

I keep waiting to go up,

And when I do,

It's never high enough to get over the bump.

I end up falling back down into the hole.

With no ladder,

Or helping hand to help me up.

It feels like there is only one way,

one way out of this "paved out road to life",

It will end.

One way or another.
