In the depths of despair, I find myself
A soul so burdened, lost in a world of pain
Each day a struggle, a battle to survive
Yet all I feel is the weight of disdain
Alone I stand, surrounded by darkness
The echoes of silence piercing my soul
Hurt and broken, my spirit shattered
Trapped in prison I cannot control
Dying slowly, bit by bit
A heart that bleeds, unseen by the eye
Upset and angry, a storm raging within
Yet to the world, I wear a mask and comply
A mess of emotions, a tangle of thoughts
Lonely in a crowd, lost in my mind
Disturbed by the chaos, haunted by fears
Judged by eyes that are blind
Ignored by those who claim to care
Stressed to the breaking point
Confused by the twists and turns of fate
Dispersed, my essence disjoint
An overthinker, lost in a maze
Misunderstood by those I hold dear
Tried my best, yet always fell short
Hurt but refusing to shed a tear
Screaming out in silence, unheard
A voice so desperate for release
Wishing for peace in a world of turmoil
Yet finding only unrest and unease
A soul in tatters, broken and bruised
Yet hiding the pain with a smile
Caring for others, their burdens my own
Even as I walk the lonely mile
Feeling useless, a failure in disguise
Breaking into pieces, yet never showing the cracks
A facade of strength, a mask of resilience
A heart that bleeds, yet never lacks
Still, I soldier on, through the darkest of nights
Pushing forward in darkness looking for brightness
A glimmer of optimism amid waves of gloom
A resilient fighter, prepared to stand up
So when you see me, remember this truth
I may be a mess, a jumble of pain
But beneath the surface, a heart beats strong
And in the end, love remains
For I am the one who bears this burden
The one who feels the weight of it all
Yet still, I rise, a phoenix from the ashes
Standing tall, refusing to fall
I am the one who cares, who loves, who endures
I am the one who fights against the tide
I am the one who breathes, who lives, who survives
I am the one who will never hide
So judge me not, ignore me not
For I am more than you see
I am a warrior, a survivor, a fighter
And I will always be me.
