An Overwhelming Sadness

An overwhelming sadness

It comes with an insane madness

A feeling so heavy and strong

Reminding you of everything you've done wrong

Leaving you to feel so pathetic

Some say it's genetic

But the disorder is so real

With the blade to help you feel

What if you're the only one?

Left to fight a war that has just begun

So lost and alone

Never feeling safe or at home

It's a sadness that never leaves

One that forces you to wear long sleeves

You wonder if you'll ever be okay

From the path of happiness you've gone astray

It keeps you wondering if you should keep living

No help to you is worth giving

No matter how much help you seek nothing gets better

So finally you sit down and write your last letter

A suicide note

Ended with your favorite quote

It's an overwhelming sadness

That drives you into the world of madness.
