I get up everyday-
Just to sleep again?
I endure everyday-
Life's suffering and pain

There are people I love
Who don't love me back
They leer at me, berate me,
Forcing me to wonder what I lack

I wish I was dead
I wish I was never born
I wish I didn't have eyes and ears
So I can't see the ugly life and can't hear its ugly song

But I can't just die
I have dreams and duties to fulfill
I have books to read, movies to watch,
Video games to play, and empty hearts to fill

To sum everything up, dying is easy
As easy as flipping a page
but I chose to live, because sometimes...
Living is also an act of courage.
