Trapped in the Shadows of Helplessness

I'm losing it

It was tearing me into pieces without even trying,
Helplessness consuming me, leaving me sighing.

All I wanted was to fly away, to escape and go numb,
But the weight of the world held me down, leaving me numb.

My emotions feel dazed, lost in a never-ending maze,
Unable to discern reality from the haze.

How did I find myself amidst this hideousness and despair?
Trapped in a web of helplessness, with no way out, it's unfair.

I'm hardly breathing right now, my heart devoid of zest,
Beating mechanically, a mere echo of what's best.

It's a nightmare I can't wake up from, a constant dread,
Helplessness engulfs me, filling my every thread.

How could I make such a fool of myself in this paradoxical state?
Stuck in the grip of helplessness, unable to escape my fate.

I yearn to give myself a chance before it's all ruined completely,
But the walls of helplessness confine me so discreetly.

Like reaching for the stars in the darkest night,
Helplessness overwhelms me, extinguishing my light.
