I think I'm giving up this time it's really time to go
Putting things in order now before the demons show
Don't shed a tear for me now that my life is over
So long have I suffered behind this smile but today I find my closure
This unbearable weight will finally be lifted from my chest
No more wandering aimlessly always fearing I'm the pest
So torn and defeated is my soul
full of so much grief and sorrow not much more can it hold
Tell me your life story and these burdens I will keep
give you peace of mind so you can finally breathe
unsure are my thoughts never do they make sense
I smile and lend a helping hand so no one sees my suffering at this extent
This vicious cycle my thoughts tear through
Just want it to end yet there's so much still to do
I bet your thinking that this is selfish there is still someone who needs my guidance
They will be okay their soul is filled with resilience
The things I feel are far from easy to describe
Numbness over takes me so i lock my door and hide
Relief from this emptiness is long overdue
To say how my story may end this I can not say for I'm still unsure of what i might do
Some days are bearable and I can smile through
Other days it is hard to breathe and I fear what may ensue
The ones who depend on me keeps me holding on
Keep putting this smile on my face so they will think I'm strong
I will continue to help others find their way
All the while unsure of how long I can be okay
This internal hell I will escape in time
For now I will go on pretending that I'm fine
But when the day comes that the calm washes over me and everything's in place
That will be the day I will have relief the day I finally meet my fate
