Analysis of Better
Dying but can't Die
Living but can't live
Praying for help with no help to give
Wondering why
What a waste of time
To be this miserable should be a crime
Last on the list
Put on the back burner
No boiling or simmering
Not even getting warmer
Hate my life but don't know how to make it better
