They Say I’m Strong

they say i’m strong

but i never asked for this

is it right, or is it wrong,

to just give in to it?

 

i’m fighting for a life

i’ll never really get to live

there’s a pain worse than a knife

when you’ve given all you can give

 

and my hope’s burned to the wick

to melted wax and melted dreams

until i have no life outside of sick

pain a constantly flowing stream

 

is there strength in holding on

when you’re holding on to lies?

is there a point past too far gone

where there’s no point to even try?

 

i tried to fall

but got suspended in pain

and i’ve given all,

but still hopelessness reigns
