Depression keep knocking on my door

Lurking behind the curtains is my suicidal thoughts

Knife in my hand and blood on the floor

Running through a dark valley until my heart stops

Breathing so heavy until my lungs drops

Inner demons criticizing me for what I’ve lost

Keeping me hostage, I’m still caged by my thoughts

Praying for light because I’m caught up in the dawn

Where’s my soul? Where’s my flesh?

I’m surrounded by the darkness of the trench

Where’s my footsteps leading me?

Where will I end if I keep on fighting?

Just thoughts roaming through my head

I’m not quite strong as I thought of myself

I just can’t take it anymore…

I’m sorry 😔.
