Can't Breathe



Love is a myth now days, people turn each other like it's the new thing to do, love doesn't exist, never did, not in this generation, the older is dead, I'm losing my faith, one after another, I call next cause nobody can stand next to me, I'm a whole different league, I'm always breathing, nobody ever hear's me, this life is fucked, isn't there anyone left to be by my side.

Why does everyone gotta use and abuse each other, can't we all just get along or are we done as a society or is it just human nature to f*ck each other over. What happened to loyalty, trust, respect, and honesty. Am I the only one left who still lives by the code, I'll never know, life is too short to let the problems bother me, I've been struggling since I was 18, I'm 37 now, still live at home now, working my ass off just for the little bit, nobody will ever know my worth, I'm just a loss cause, I belong in the dirt, 6ft under, I'll sleep, I'll do it with a smile on my face until I take my last breathe, doesn't make me weak, I'm just tired of fighting a never ending battle, my family made me weak, Noone will ever recognize me cause they know I'm weak.

Love is a myth now days, people turn each other like it's the new thing to do, love doesn't exist, never did, not in this generation, the older is dead, I'm losing my faith, one after another, I call next cause nobody can stand next to me, I'm a whole different league, I'm always breathing, nobody ever here's me, this life is fucked, isn't there anyone left to be by my side.
