In My Eyes

In my eyes, life is about being hurt

Being hurt everywhere you go and it seems like it will never end

Your family always yelling at you to stop talking and always being left out

People at school are pushing you around and telling you how you should act or what you should wear

Being hurt in life will never end in my eyes

 

In my eyes, life is about always trying

You try so hard but everyone around you will always tell you it’s not hard enough

Trying to keep your grades up, play sports, be with friends or family, and being religious is all one person can do, but it’s never trying hard enough

Your own family yelling at you because your own father doesn’t want to be in your life, but they don’t know you try everyday to talk to him

 

In my eyes, life isn’t about happiness

I could see the dark rooms and fear of doing things different

From the time a person will wake up for the first time to the time they are sleep forever, they will have all these different symptoms of depression and anxiety, and nobody knows but them

It could be the worse possible thing ever.

 

In my eyes, life isn’t easy, it’s hard

In my eyes, life isn’t being happy, it’s being sad

In my eyes, life isn’t being calm, it’s being hurt

In my eyes, life isn’t life, it’s death

In my eyes, I don’t know what life really is anymore

This is me
