My mind has been in such a dark place lately.
I am fighting my demons before they overtake me.
The sound these monsters create in my head, sometimes make me wish I was dead.
I struggle to get back to the me that was once so happy but I struggle as my demons try to trap me.
I get lost in this dark forest I have created inside of my head.
My demons laughed as on my soul they fed.
I feel the pain in my gut because of my selfish thoughts.
I am trying to crawl out of this dark forest before my soul rots.
This anxiety and depression make me feel like I am drowning in a body of dark water.
The more I fight the more I sink farther and farther.
If I give up my fight my light will slowly start to fade away.
I will stop breathing and I won't get to see another day.
All I want is for someone to save me from these dark thoughts inside of my head.
Deep down inside of my soul I do not want to end up dead.
I no longer want to be taunted by this depression and the darkness it has planted inside of my head.
Someone please save me before I end up dead.
