The walls close in as I try to breathe
The air around me is heavy, I can barely see
The darkness inside me is all I know
As I try to escape this emotional undertow
The pain consumes me, like a burning fire
A constant battle, with the demons inside me higher
I try to run, to hide, to escape
But the sadness lingers, like a toxic grape
My heart feels heavy, like a sack of stones
The tears fall down, as I'm left all alone
The world around me feels so cold and grey
As I struggle to make it through another day
The scars on my skin, a constant reminder
Of the battles that I've fought, the pain behind the mirror
I try to smile, to put on a brave face
But the darkness inside me is hard to erase
So I fall into this pit of despair
No light, no hope, just emptiness and fear
Lost in the darkness, I try to cope
With the sadness consuming me and stealing my hope.
