How Do I Get By?

Info

In this world where no one seems to care,
To offer help, they wouldn't even dare.
Everything in life is just so unfair,
With these struggles--to whom am I gonna share?

Tell me, how do I get by?
With those tomorrows that seems so far,
With those nights that seems so long;
Each day, it's getting harder to survive.

I woke up and nothing seems to go wrong.
But I know that this won't last long.
I look up at the sky asking myself with whys,
Waiting for the time when I have to say goodbye.

I have a war inside my mind,
Battling with the monster that is so unkind;
Telling me that I'm better left behind.
How can I escape if I'm confined?

Tell me, how do I get by?
With these eyes that continue to cry,
It won't stop no matter how much I try.
All I want to do now is to lie down and die.

If I get that blade and cut myself,
Maybe I can finally say goodbye.
If I stop breathing and no longer alive,
Maybe that's when I get by.

don't give up your life just because of too many problems. Remember, God do not give you problems that you don't be able to overcome.

'How can I escape when I'm confined'.
We ourselves cage ourselves, with all the negative emotions surrounding us. No matter how hard it gets, it's about looking at the freckles of hope I guess. :)
PS- you've expressed it beautifully
