i feel drained
of all i am
and all i was
and everything
i could be
my eyelids
are heavy
my feet
are dragging
the weights
seem heavier
like every breath
i breathe in
adds to the
pressures
im fighting to
push through
how do i stop
breathing
without dying?
how do i stop
existing
without disappearing?
my chest
feels empty
where has my
heart run off to
this time?
she never learns
she loves
she is left
again
again
another broken
piece
another broken
person
blended among
the crowd
of everyone
seeking help
everyone
reaching out
searching for
a hand to guide them
a shoulder to cry on
a person to lean on
i once was that
person
to reach out
with a guiding hand
a shoulder strong enough
to carry all sadness
a body sturdy enough
to bear the burdens
thrown onto me
where has my
strength gone?
when did this
weakness
take over?
my soul
has grown
fragile
my mind
is in
shambles
my emotions
control
me
how much longer
till i can
rest?
i am tired
i cant push
forward
much
more
im faltering
im suffering
im on the verge
of collapse
