I Need To Live
by
Sara Rarick
Here I am, barely hanging on.
I want to live, let me live, some one please give me life.
Its hard to go on when you don't have anything to look forward to,
when there is nothing to believe in.
I'm sick of all these faces, they're all the same.
Nothing ever stays the same so what's the point of trying to be happy?
It won't last for very long, it never does, nothing does.
I want to start over, my slate to be clear.
Betrayal I sense from every corner.
I don't understand how people can be so cruel, so ignorant, so oblivious.
Does anyone understand truth?
No one understands me.
What words can be spoken that haven't already been said,
that can help some one who has lost all hope?
There comes a point in time where some one just can't continue on,
when too much pain has made it impossible to be healed.
What is there left to be felt that I haven't already experienced?
Withdrawn into myself I don't feel much of anything.
I don't like being like this.
I need to get away, I need new people, real people.
I need to live.
