Do you know the feeling of swimming against the tide?
It's painful when everyone thinks you're out of your mind.
I see you trying to break free, leaving everything behind,
Yet, you struggle to decide, lost in your mind.
As if the lights went out, darkness all around,
Voices echo in your head, they're way too loud.
Urging you towards self-harm; now, you don't seem so proud.
Negative thoughts reign, convinced you'll never reach your goal,
Fear of failure grips, preventing any new role.
On your bed, body present, mind far and wide,
Mom calls out, you're in airplane mode, seeking to hide.
Feeling lost, unsure how to manage the pain,
They say happiness demands struggle, but what's there to gain?
Life's a puzzle, leaving you disconnected, it's true,
Questions abound, answers elusive, what to do?
Yearning for a painkiller, to end it all, to find peace,
Acknowledging death's inevitability, seeking release.
