It's weighing down on me
Day by day it gets worse
It makes me believe that I'm off no good use

Its either it goes or I do
Its a feeling I cannot let go of
It suppresses
Oppresses
And depresses me

I feel strangled when I try to sleep
It has convinced me that I'm worthless
It has taken control over my life
I can't seem to find a way out

It doesn't allow me to be happy
Or do positive things for a while
My positivity,
Happiness
And joy
All flushed away

I have no emotions
And I'm of no use
Maybe I should just let it be
