Is this really living
I have this vague misgiving
That I'm not really alive
Maybe I needed to revive.
To think a happy thought
rather than be so distraught.
Still as I sit here in this room
I can't help but think it's a tomb
I'm missing out on something
I know as I cling
to what I know
I wish I could grow.
To change
to not be so strange
To live a life
instead of all this strife.
I wish I could be
like a butterfly you see.
To fly in the sky and be free
but most of all...to be alive!

I try my best to be optimistic but it's really hard, this is how I feel so often and it's hard to stray away from these feelings but we do need to live and to make the most of life whilst we're living it.

Meh I've grown somewhat pessimistic over the years. I guess it's just something that happened over time...don't know why but sometimes I don't see the point in such things.
