What is the point of being alive,

When you can’t be happy?

What is the point of being alive,

When you don’t even have energy to wake up in the morning?

What is the point of being alive,

If all you do is hurt other people

If all you do is disappoint people

If all you do is letting everyone down.

    There are other reasons to be alive as well as those listed above. When you stop hurting, disappointing, and letting people down you will be happier.

      The hard thing here is, HOW do you stop hurting, disappointing and letting people down?

    I’m feeling all these things too and afaik theres no point in being alive. Everyone says hang on, or wait, or something good will happen, but those are all fantasies. The truth is when youre trapped things get worse

      Honestly, what helped for me, was just having someone who listens. Family? A friend? Doesn't matter. It is important to talk about things, even if they don't have a solution. I wrote another poem on this, its called Breathe, it helps for me in moments like this when it's the absolute worst to just calm down and breathe. If you want to talk, I will be here to listen.
