Living is hard
it’s a hard life
but goddamit I don’t want to die
everything is ruined
before it even starts
Sometimes I say just screw it
I’m just a rotten part
a gear that can’t turn
or spin inside its place
is not worth the metal
that makes up its plates
A hole that hides its shadows
underneath all of its dirt
rises with the fossils
that never got unearthed
the scenery does it for me
as the sun gets replaced
cause people grow like fire
on a forest that can’t escape
Living is hard
it’s a hard life
but goddamit I don’t want to die
