Can’t Breathe

Sun, 08/25/2013 - 14:58 -- stalina

When it all comes down

Like snow to the ground

Sometimes it feels like nothings gonna work

The end doesn’t always justify the means

When it means destroying someone’s happiness

Why does it always happen to people?

Who can’t seem to live it out

Why does it seem like

No one can take it

No one can breathe

 

Deaths are hard

But living is harder

Seeing what life really is

Going through struggles

When everyone else is cuddled

With what life seems to give them

Why can’t the people who suffer the most

Get more out of the life than they do

Dying is hard

But living is harder

 

I just want to scream and shout

Just want to get my voice out

Get it heard and seen

Make it change

What life appears to be

Make a difference

And make a change
