Lying in my bed, staring at the ceiling,
Contemplating the darkness, the end of all feeling.
Pain, devastation, weariness, and despair,
Loneliness engulfs me, life feels so unfair.
I begin to grasp why some choose to depart,
Not to end their lives, but the anguish in their heart.
Not burdensome, but seeking release from the weight,
No escape from problems, no one to alleviate.
It's not a lack of understanding, you see,
But feeling misunderstood, no one to set them free.
Reasons to live aren't lost, merely obscured,
Lost in the pain, trapped in darkness, unheard.
Oh, how tempting it is to surrender and succumb,
To pain, loneliness, devastation, and the numb.
But I cannot be selfish, my loved ones I must consider,
Their sacrifices for me, I can't let them wither.
I cannot forget my obligations to those who depend,
Break promises to those who trusted, my support I must extend.
Responsibilities I cannot abandon, for those who believe,
They are my reasons to live, the ones I can't leave.
Ironically, they're also the cause of my strife,
Making situations worse, complicating my life.
Though sick and tired, I must not give in,
For their sake, I'll endure, the battle I'll begin.
These thoughts are but fleeting, before sleep takes hold,
Tonight, I'll find solace, as dreams gently unfold.
Rest assured, my friend, I'll be fine through the night,
With resilience and hope, I'll face the morning light.
