Blinds shut,
Curtains closed,
Rooms dark,
Trying to be something,
Somebody in the mad crazy world,
Trying to find herself
Lost in it all,
Constantly being told 'do something be something'
But how can you be something if your not?
Blinds open,
Curtains open,
Looking out at the same dark dull world,
be something, be somebody, do something,
Thats what they all shout,
But how can be something or somebody
When the worlds broken you down
And you've lost the damn fucking plot?
How can you be something your not?
'There will be bad days, there will be good days, there will be really bad days, and really good days, and days that are not bad or good but just simply suck, but either way you got through it and you are here today and that is all that really matters''

I really like the progression of this and the way you repeat certain images, as well as the way you end on a rhetorical question. This was really powerful, thanks for sharing! I always enjoy your work.

I like the ending!
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
