Life

Again there´s the sadness
turning me to madness.
Please redeem me, now.
I just don’t know how,
I can live again.
I tried to but then...
my mind is confused,
my soul feels abused
Sucking life,
it’s sharp like a knife.
I feel so tired.
All I desired
was a bit of life’s beauty
but what I got was duty.
Alone I can’t go on.
But who will protect me from
LIFE?
