Between Breaths
I panic and my chest is tight
I don't know if i can make it
But I'm good at trying to fake this.
Anxiety creeps up again my head feels light
I don't think I'm gonna make it
But I know I have to shake this.
Sick of fighting in my head
I'll never be good enough to
Burn these bad thoughts to ashes
And watch them blow back into
Darkness.
And when I'm finally dead
Will my actions have been enough to
Burn the pain to ashes
And let it drift back into
Darkness.
Im scared of taking my last breath
I'm far from ready yet but
My body's begging for me
To rest.
As i fight high tides
The depression rises
I feel like ive been drowning
But I'm swimming towards the light
I will reach the shore
I survived again
I am stronger now
Slowly on the mend.
