This Term Called Life
<p>It’s just so exhausting living like this,</p><p>Bearing the weight of pain without a cause,</p><p>Like waking up already tired</p><p>Before the day even begins.</p><p>Nothing is loud, yet everything feels heavy,</p><p>Like something is wrong, but I can’t name it,</p><p>And that scares me more than anything.</p><p>Because how do you fight what you don’t understand?</p><p>How do you fix a feeling with no beginning?</p><p>I don’t even know when or how it started,</p><p>But what I do know</p><p>Is that there’s this aching feeling in my heart.</p><p>And I wonder-</p><p>Is it the feeling of not being enough?</p><p>Or the fear of being left behind?</p><p>Or the quiet shame of not even knowing</p><p>why I feel like this at all?</p><p>It’s like I’m searching for an answer</p><p>that keeps hiding from me,</p><p>And I’m tired…</p><p>So tired of trying to understand something</p><p>that won’t explain itself.</p><p>This hollow feeling,</p><p>This empty void slowly swallowing me whole,</p><p>Like I’m fading into something I don’t recognize,</p><p>Like I’m here… but not really here.</p><p>And I try to hold on,</p><p>To something, anything,</p><p>But my hands keep coming back empty.</p><p>And I promise I’m trying,</p><p>To pull myself out of this,</p><p>To hold on to that thin thread</p><p>That’ll lead me to a silver lining.</p><p>And maybe, just maybe,</p><p>I’m not cut out for it.</p><p>But suicide is not an option,</p><p>Giving up isn’t either.</p><p>I can do nothing but hope for a better day.</p>
