I think I've reached my limits
So fed up of this terrible world
I think that tomorrow might be,
The day that I give up
I'm so very, very tired
Of the use and the mistrust
Resigned to broken promises
And these tattered, shattered dreams
I wasn't aware, was never told
That pain adds up, never goes away
In the ring, fighting a neverending battle
Tomorrow might be the day that I give up
Watching my life fall and crumble
My fragile world breaking apart
Don't have the strength to hold my head up
Just want to sit, breakdown and cry
Chasing, running down my hopes
My faith in hope gets me nowhere
Love drips in tears from my eyes
But love can't fix everything
I'm too much of a coward
Too walk out of this life
But I may give up for a while
Just for a brief surrender
Tomorrow might just be
The day that I give up

Wow! So emotional. I love it!
Do me a favor, don't give up on life yet.
If I have to hang on to this horrible world, you should too. There are ways to get rid of all the built up pain, but I suggest you choose one other than the one I chose. I cut.
Keep writing, your really good.
