Life for me

LaStar Stewart 1988 (United States)

Rhymed
I dont want to die
But I don't want to live
Is there a plane of existence
Where I can just give
All of myself and all of my fears
Because after all of these years
Things still aren't clear
Trying to be the best mother, daughter, sister and friend
It just isn't working for me in the end
But still I try because I'm afraid to fail
