The Pain of Living

there’s something so painful about living 
i’m too scared to die but im too scared to live 
i feel my world closing in, but there’s no alternative 
each day is a war zone and I have to be a warrior 
but it’s not the life I’ve chosen and I just want to give in
my wrists are sore and the blood has been drawn
my head hurts but my heart aches for more 
I long for a day of nothing hurting, 
but I know that’s just the pain of living
