I remember when I used to crave this life,
I remember when I used to crave this light,
What is happening to me?
I'm in too deep, I'm in too deep.
I remember when I used to live life to the fullest,
I remember when I was a little girl,
What happened between now and then?
The anxiety consumed me,
I can't face my problems,
I'm too scared.
I'm now in a state of depression,
My anxiety has led to this,
I remember crying myself to sleep
Because I "wasn't good enough;"
I remember crying myself to sleep
Because I "was a disappointment;"
I remember crying myself to sleep
Because I "can't see clearly;"
I remember crying myself to sleep
Because I "would never amount to anything;"
And, now, those thoughts are permanent
As I battle them everyday, trying to live my life,
But these thoughts have got the best of me -
They are the only truth I know.
I wish I had the strength to give to the weak,
But I'm in over my head.
