Life’s a Bitch

You get what you get and you don’t get upset.

By Lauren McGarviePublished about a year ago 1 min read

I’m drowning in this vast ocean but no one can save me.

I’m alone in the wilderness and no one can hear me.

I’m suffocating and no one can see me.

I hate myself for being weak, but can’t find the strength to pull myself up.

No one sees the pain, the agony, the despair I feel as it’s locked behind the green of my eyes.

I find myself falling with nothing and no one to hold onto.

My anxiety is internal, my smile is external.

I’m barely holding on but smile so they don’t think anything’s wrong.

I see only darkness but let them believe they see only light within my eyes.

Don’t let on you feel pain, don’t let on your struggles run deep.

Help me please someone save me I can’t hold on.

It’s only a matter of time.

But don’t worry, I’m fine.

Life’s just a Bitch to me sometimes.

Hello my fellow writers, I hope you are all well. I’m more of a hobby writer, if I see an incredible prompt I can't help but write something for it. I may not be the best writer but it helps me to forget the annoyances of the real world.
