Fear of Living
Looking at what is happening around makes
everything doubtful with all the greed,
Feeling the need of having more than one deserves or
more loneliness than they expected indeed.
Coming up in society from being penniless and
poor to having all of the riches,
Never remembering what it had taken to climb
this ladder and all of the past stitches.
Forgetting who helped get you there then again
also forgetting about ones health,
All because of wanting everything you thought
would bring the greatest of wealth.
The greed of money comes to some but also
brings with it a true case of depression,
With the power felt when you get everything you
want just gives more reason of suppression.
Nobody ever thinking of the bigger picture as
being a play on a grand old stage,
Instead all is spoken that is acted out in anger
making all turn to an enormous rage.
Getting madder at everyone else for happiness
they have by the friends they receive,
They are always going out and about while you are at
home on your own with only you to deceive.
There is nothing worse than being with no one in your
life with whom you could actually share,
Emotionally you are stable enough to look for someone
so you should step out of hiding if you dare.
Feeling your own pain from deep inside causes a broken
heart as there is no one in which to confide,
Leaving you with all of the decisions of what to do and
where to go as only you have to decide.
So now you sit alone thinking of everything which
is causing all your fears and strife,
Ask yourself the question now since you have been given
no hope “is it really worth taking your own life”.
