happy
i cannot be happy
i cannot cherish happiness
because it is taken away from me
no one takes mercy on me
not even myself
my lungs give up on me
forget how to breathe
my heart gives up on me
forgets how to beat
my eyes give up
they fill themselves with tears
i am not an angel
but the things i did
do they deserve this punishment?
do i deserve for love to be taken away from me?
do i deserve to cry
to hurt
to hate myself
do i deserve this?
maybe i do.
and maybe i should face the facts
and give up on myself too.

You're right. At some point, like this damn feeling, this voice becomes quieter and quieter. And you can do it by then
