Life slowly pulls me down, into the depths of soulless despair,
People, friends, family all around, yet I feel so alone.
Trapped inside a hole of endless night and torturous thoughts.
It's so hard to deal with the hollow, dark emotions on my own.
This shadow is stalking me, drawing nearer each time.
I try so hard not to let it catch me, "fight harder" I say aloud
But it envelops my soul, cloaking me with despair.
How can I move on? When I'm so lost deep in this crowd.
The endless churning, is like a tsunami wave,
Tossing, pitching my small craft, whilst I cling on, waiting with hope.
But it's perpetual, dark, this sea of self doubt and loathing,
I'm constantly swimming and sliding down this slope.
