No.25 Teenage Depression

The weight of the world, too heavy to bear,
Dark shadows haunting, a constant scare,
Endless tears, an endless fight,
Lost in despair, no end in sight.

Hiding in silence, screaming inside,
Hopelessness consuming, no reason to abide,
Longing for escape, from this pain so deep,
Will the day come, when I finally sleep?

Or will I forever be trapped, in this endless night?
Searching for a glimmer, a flicker of light.
A hope for a future, where things are all right.

But now, I have no energy,
I can't even choose fight or flight.
Impossible to find a light,
In this endless, suffocating night.

Every breath a struggle, every step a chore,
All I can do is beg to find some peace and more.
Each day the same,
Bound in chains, without any claim.

But still I hold on, to a tiny sliver of hope,
That someday, somehow, I'll be able to cope.
