Pain

My heart is filled with pain,

Regret consumes my every thought.

Depression’s heavy chains,

Killing me, suffocating all I’ve got.

Memories of the past haunt me,

Tears fall for what’s gone, what’s lost.

I’m lost, searching for identity,

Faking smiles, dying inside the cost.

Voices whispers in my head saying, “You’re useless, give in,”

A constant battle, hard to win.

Scared to sit alone, I hide,

Headphones drowning my mind.

Longing for connection, yet ashamed,

Fearing judgment, feeling blamed.

Missing loved ones, though they’re near,

Embarrassed to reveal my deepest fear.

Depression’s darkness grips me tight,

A never-ending, exhausting fight.

But in the end, may we all prevail,

After all, we’re too broke, we can’t afford to fail.
