What Is Life?

I wrote this poem when I felt down and I didn't know how to express myself through words.

I stare out of my window

Seeing cars pass by

I just wish that I could

Get out of this nightmare called life.

 

What is life if I am never happy?

What is life if I seek no happiness?

How can it be so grand?

Life is just too bland.

 

Every day we live

We go through the same routine

From three to quarter to five

We go day in and day out

 

Working for minimum wage

Just to support our families

For what are we alive for?

We are born, we live, and we die.

 

Why try to live life to the fullest?

Why try anything at all?

Nothing good will come out of it.

God, please just take it all

 

Away from me and leave

my family in peace

So that they may be happy

And not hold back because of me

 

My mom works hard

My dad does nothing

My sisters hate me

I have no joy

 

My mom wouldn't have to work so hard

My dad wouldn't be mad as much

My sisters wouldn't fight so much

If I just left the earth

 

God, please just take me

Off this planet

So that everyone else may be happy

Being in this thing called life

Really sad yet dark! I really like it though. I believe everyone can relate to this when they are feeling down or depress.
