Why is it so hard to live?
Life is amazing.
You see, learn, feel, and grow.
And yet, other days, you forget it.
Some days, nothing happens.
Some days, you're just tired of it all.
Some days, you wish you could wake up
Like you did so long ago.
One day will be amazing.
The next, a terrible thing.
Why do our minds
Have such control over feelings?
Why can't I wake up?
Why can't I feel?
Why am I angry?
Why am I tired?
Someone, wake me up.
I'm walking through water.
Slowly sinking under.
I grasp and I call.
No help comes.
I know the Lord is with me.
Don't tell me these things.
You don't understand how it feels.
I hate this feeling.
This feeling of nothing.
I can't explain it to others.
They don't understand.
They say, "Get up!"
"Go outside!"
"Hang out with us!"
"Don't isolate yourself!"
I'm not trying to.
I just can't stomach being with people.
I can't hear them say those things.
Do you know why?
I'll scream. I'll crack and break.
I'll say things I shouldn't have.
I'll be cruel and filled with hate.
You don't understand.
Don't dump your pity on me.
Just help me out of this slump.
Give me verses.
Give me songs.
Give me anything.
Anything that can fill my mind.
When your mind is empty,
You're the most vulnerable.
