Is this what it has come to
3:00 in the morning
Tears streaming down my face
I’ve lost control
Oxygen why are you so scarce
It’s been two days since I filled my stomach
These dark circles around my eyes are darker
It’s 3:30 and I feel dead
Staring into space
While trying to catch my breath
Death is that you
Are you teasing me
Zombified by emotions
Depression is that you
Do you enjoy draining me
I HATE YOU!
Anxiety is that you
Do you enjoy taking my breath away
I’M TIRED!
I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
My heart’s racing, my legs are shaking
It’s 3:45
Anxiety haven’t you had enough
Depression do you enjoy taunting me with suicidal thoughts
I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?
I’M DROWNING!
My stomach’s aching, my head is spinning
Anxiety please stop
Depression please leave
Death stop knocking at my door
I’m tired can’t you see
I don’t like these little games you play
It’s 4:00 am
HOPE IS THAT YOU?
PLEASE COME AND SAVE ME!
