Withering away

Do you know what it's like

To face death but come out alive

Do you know what it is like

For your body to be burned alive

Yet you survive

Do you know what it is like

To be surrounded

Yet alone

Drowning as wave after wave

Crash into you

Burying you

Then you don't know what I've gone through

My heart has been torn and ripped but never mended

It has just become more and more broken

Until there are no pieces left to break

Happiness feels impossible to reach

And depression begins to eat at me

as I fall deeper into myself

Trying to remain strong

But it's just so hard

Death surrounds me

Taking away the people I love

From me

And pain seems to enjoy

Slowly breaking me

Watching me begin to wither into nothing
