Live For What?

Why do I always feel
So empty and all alone
Billions of people on this earth
And not one friend to call my own

I have no ambitions
No life-long ultimate goal
All I have is a broken heart
And a dying soul

I've cried for so long
I've almost drowned in my own tears
I can't go on like this
A victim of my own fears

Screaming does no good
Nobody seems to hear my pleads
As I fall further into the abyss
With no idea where it leads

I try to run from my past
But it always catches me
Pushing me harder and harder
To end my misery

I didn't ask to be born
So why am I here
I don't want to live
In sorrow and fear

I don't want to live
With harsh visions in my head
Laying in bed every night
Wishing I was dead

It gets harder to resist
Taking a gun or knife
And saying good riddance
To this world and my life
