Scared of living
As I grew with age,
I realized i wasn't living,
I used to appreciate the present,
I used to see it as a gift,
But now its torture.

The fear in my heart,
The fear of being alive,
As everyday has turned into prison,
The treatment is too harsh to bear.

I've walked all over the planet,
In deep search of humanity,
But every corner of every street,
I saw flames of sadness,
Now im scared to live.

As they keep on saying,
It's the survival of the fittest,
I guess im already dead then,
Because my soul has become too weak now,
I have given up on tomorrow,
Because today is non existing,
Im shattered.
