Can I Start Over?

I need another life cos this one died so long ago
I just want a chance to live, what's the point of life?
I see so many people happy I wish I could be them for a day
Could I just take one from each of them and pile the days on mine
I just need to start again and not be such a fool
I need a new beginning to erase the way I made it end
No one should be so alone the silence burns deep inside my soul
Love crushed every bit of hope I had mercilessly until I bled
And the poetry spilled out until finally I left my tired head
Now I hide inside the emptiness I thought was my best friend
Until I realized it wasn't my fault I was born, it was you God
It was you all along that followed my every step
The echo was just the sound you made trying to hid e from me
I couldn't escape from the shadow of your unholy ghost
Hovering above me yet beneath my every step
When I thought it was just me I hated myself internally
Now that I know I was never alone I will hate you instead, eternally
But you have the power to set it right, to press reset on this life
It wasn't my own fault I never stood a chance, Never stood on my own
Now I'm on my own but silence thunders inside me
I've got nothing to care about and nowhere to go
Might as well spend infinity in a box just like this one
Alone
No one knows
Or cares
