they go through things, in their daily lives, I would never wish on an enemy of mine
and yet here I am... weak, incapable, a failure in my life
i've lived through stuff... stuff others would find unable to fathom
stuff others wouldn't wish on their enemies

and yet... because others do have it so much worse
i feel that i am just whining and complaining
a failure, a weakling
you see
so, at this very moment, in my life, as I type.... I wish to die, I want to be no more
and at the same time... I want to just make it all stop and not really be dead
i just really want to sleep... just sleep
and awaken when it's springtime.... with the green grass, the flowers blooming, and the bunnies hopping
to most likely... a short time afterward
want to be dead, or asleep again
