Excuses and broken promises,
Pile of lies, effortless pretense.
Ongoing crisis,
I am tired.

I've been faking my smiles,
Forcing my laughs,
Showing baked happiness,
This is hard.

I need peace,
I want freedom.
I miss home,
I am lost.

I want to escape,
I long for the ocean.
I crave to hear,
The sound of dancing waves.

Show me the way,
I badly need to get out of here.
This space is suffocating,
I am losing my temper.

My tears are falling,
Heart is aching,
Why do I feel this pain?
It's killing.

Can someone save me,
I think I am drowning,
With so much thought,
Overthinking is real.

If this is depression,
I am scared to be alone,
Because this darkness inside me,
Is taking me to the unknown.

I know I have to stop,
But I don't know how to act.
Or maybe all I need,
Is a deep sleep tonight.
