Worn Out

Even with oxygen free for us to use, I am suffocating

Even with no scars on my skin, I have wounds

Even with so many people around me, I am alone

And this smile is just for you to ask no questions

 

Even with antibiotics, the pain is not going away

Even with rain falling two seasons, the flowers are withering

Even with the sun, it is still a little too dark

And society destroys itself day in day out

 

Even with food in my stomach, I feel empty 

There world is filled with so many wonder

But my eyes can't see anything

I am too worn out to even stand up

Someone lift this weight from my shoulders
