I close my eyes to make this feeling go away
But the hopelessness won't stop creeping in
I try to push out all the negative thoughts
But where do I start, where do I begin?
I listen to my steady breathing, in and out
I try to force my heartbeat to slow itself down
But this feeling just keeps on pushing through
My head swimming with doubt until I drown
I start to feel my self-control crack under the pressure
The flames of anger flickering just under my skin
Hands start to tremble as I struggle to hold on
But I can feel myself slipping away from within
The chains of depression begin to get tighter
I can't breathe, it's choking off my air
Waves of sadness break apart my sanity
Until what was left of me is no longer there
I close my eyes to make this feeling go away
But I've lost all control.
