Another night I can’t stop crying;
Another day I feel like dying;
Into the darkness I descend.
My head is pounding;
The pain’s abounding;
My mind is wearing thin.
Imprisoned by depression today;
I struggle, but can’t get away;
How I long for this to end.
I strive to summon all my might;
To rise above this incessant fight;
But honestly, I’m feeling pretty grim.
There’s not much more I can take;
I fear I will eventually break;
I’m already starting to bend.
Tempted by what feels like fate;
I fantasize and contemplate;
Releasing the pain within.
If only the darkness would subside;
I could crawl out from where I hide;
And maybe start to mend.
For now I’ll continue to live on hope;
Counting on my will to cope;
Until the light shines once again.
