I want to live

Existing

By AbigailPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Never felt any lonelier than this

Sincerely this has to be the worst point in my entire existence on earth

It would be nice if someone could relate

The feeling of constantly trying

Yet nothing better seems to be coming out of it

I would pull out the remaining strength in me to try out something only for it to go down the drain

Sometimes I wish I never existed in the first place but religion says thank God for life

I would post about how I feel but people say don’t show the world you are vulnerable

I would try to talk it out but they reply with IT WOULD GET BETTER

Does it actually get better or that is just a lie we’ve been configured to believe

Even if it does get better, so many struggles in exchange for betterment

Everyday I ask God why I was created

Not because I want to question him

But sincerely because I would like to know

Maybe the answer would give my life meaning

Literally just existing

It would be nice to actually live instead.
