Breathing has become a chore, a burden to bear,
As time weighs heavy on my soul, with each passing care.
Every moment feels like an eternity, a never-ending test,
A constant reminder of the happiness I've been denied, and the love I've been bereft.

I thought I had found my joy, my heart's desire,
But like sand between my fingers, it slipped away, leaving only tears.
A shroud of darkness has fallen over me,
A veil that dims the light, and suffocates my soul, relentlessly.

People seem to be a mystery, a puzzle I can't solve,
Their words and actions a labyrinth I can't navigate, leaving me lost and alone.
I yearn to help others, to ease their pain,
But my own struggles suffocate me, leaving me helpless, with no escape.

Time feels like a ticking bomb, a countdown to my demise,
A constant reminder that I'm running out of time, and my strength is dwindling.
I'm exhausted, drained, and weary,
Longing for a respite, a reprieve from this endless sorrow.

But still, I hold on to hope, a glimmer of light,
A chance that tomorrow will bring a new dawn, and an end to this darkest night.
For now, I'll keep breathing, and hold on to my heart,
And pray that someday, I'll find my way out of this darkness, and into a brand new start.
