Battle Within

There's an empty feeling left inside
Tearing me down and making me cry
Restless, breathless when will it end
No chance to fight back
New faces to stare at giving me a panic attack
Burning just beneath the skin
Lost hope that caves in
I've strangled my insides 
Suffocating the pain and letting it reside
So it's a struggle every day to find a reason to survive
