Constant battles brewing within
It's getting hard to keep up the facade
Once the mask is off and reality dawns on me
I fall apart
Shattered into a million pieces
Somehow holding on by a very thin strand
Not knowing where it's from
I have become very good at faking happiness
Depressed and broken on the inside
I am basically a fire ball of emotions
Just waiting for an opportunity to explode.
A piece of myself is lost with every passing moment
With every breath I take
I am screaming out for help
But it seems I am inaudible
And my cries do not reach a soul
The anxiety creeps in making room for the depression
Uninvited and unwanted guests.
A stream of tears flooded my pillow as I fell apart behind closed doors
I slowly slipped into the dark abyss that I tried so hard not to fall back into
I lost myself among the gentle breeze
You'd think it would calm me down but it just does the opposite.
My heart is withered like grass
I groan in distress
Laying awake in my own little world
Feeling like a bird alone on the roof
In a shell I do not even want to be in
Trapped in myself with no exit
My strength has been broken
Gone is the hope of ever seeing the light
I am feeling worn out like an old garment
Like a piece of clothing soon to be thrown out.
