A Fragile Life

My life is like a fragile egg
I'm waiting for it to drop and break
To break is to die
To die is to have peace
Only then will my troubles be over
An eternity of peace
That I can look forward to
It's like a present to me
Another layer of wrapping goes free
I don’t know how many more layers there may be
My life means nothing to me
To end it is all I ever think
My family, cats and my friends are the only thing
Stopping my egg from falling over the edge you see
And giving me my tranquil peace away from society
From all the pain I hide inside of me
I wish my egg had never came to be
No longer can I leave my egg on the edge of sanity
I can travel down the canyons pretty views then maybe
To roll forward is what I must do
Only then will my message get through
That message would have to be
I tried telling you all I was living in misery
