Don't ask what the meaning of life is. You define it.

Stop. Just stop
I can’t run anymore.
Go on without me, life.
You’ve dragged me along, and now I’m sore.

Sore. Soar with me.
Give me a break, please?
Just freeze all that exists around me
And pretend I’m at ease.

Please. I’m bleeding in
And out. I don’t know what’s wrong
Right? Which way to go…?
The minutes, the hours, the days seem long.

I can’t breathe. You suffocate me.
All my do’s and dues have cluttered
Against my skull and bones.
Shivering, aching tired bones.

Stop. Just stop.
Life, you’re killing me.
