Bleeding life into this world
Is this my legacy
Should I just surrender

Oxygen is fleeting, my mind retreating.
All for a last gasp
I was ready to give up.

Climbing the mountains of my life was not easy.
Hoping one day l will reach to the top.
Here l am in the middle
Yet l am already exhausted , tried , frustrated.

Should I just surrender or
Should I just take a leap and choose for that's all l can do.

The world makes me feel
l am nothing without a degree
Decided from when l was conceived.
Personally l used to believe in my own belief.

The pain , the suffering
All shades of life
Nomatter how l try
Reaching on top seems impossible.
An intelligent minded person l am
Despite all that
The world made me feel like
l deserved nothing.

Wanted to be free from this feeling.
Only to see l always held the key.
For l lacked the strength
To grip my true identity
I realized as l fall
l recognise the true reality.

This is me
Split down the seam
Is this what it means to be alive?
Just to exist?
To Push and push
l need to breathe
Should I just surrender

What makes this so hard?
Climbing the mountains of my life
Falling down , going back to the start.
Tell me , when will l reach the top.
Will l ever reach
For l am tried of climbing
It's not my specialty to climb
Should I just surrender.
