********************************

quite honestly

everything is

broken

clocks aren't

ticking right

cars aren't

moving fast enough

stop and smell the

roses

but there won't

be

roses to smell

soon enough

look on the

bright side

but the side is so

bright

that the ice is

melting

and not the

good kind

of ice

the kind that

doesn't bode well

for this world

quite honestly

everyone is

hurting

a million people

dead

a million more

dying

cherish every

moment

but there aren't

enough moments

to cherish

find the

silver lining

but all i see is

silver hair

and then

gravestones

engraved with names

nobody wanted

to read on them

quite honestly

i am

breaking

shattering

the pressures are

too much

believe in yourself

but there's not

much

left to

believe in

what doesn't

kill you

makes you

stronger

but i think

death's kiss

would be a

relief

at this point

and it sounds

morbid

but it's

true

and there are

a hundred thousand

people

just

like

me

who feel the

exact

same

way

and that is a

tragedy
