Alive but not living

My life is a contradiction Today it's real, tomorrow it's fiction Whenever I turn off my data connection, reality sets in Life becomes less blurry and I wonder if I'm still destined I anticipate the unknown with my hands opened wide Knowing expectations hurts sometimes but I'll end up alright Life is full of ups and downs and this is something you should expect Because you can't go to a gym and not expect to sweat Some people want you to remain under them like 'souls under soles' However, everyone is a puppet in life until they figure out their roles. I've seen people with ugly characters and beautiful faces I've met good people in the worst of places Everybody are hypocrites yet pretend not to be one When night comes, I face insomnia, I face my demons But I know I can't defeat the demons I enjoy playing with. What else can I do when salvation seems like a myth ? One day I'll kick the bucket knowing that I tried my best to play my part Because I've learnt that being alive is easy but living a life is hard
