Depression

My mind is slowing down.
My heartbeat is speeding up
Mind is out of control,
When is this enough is enough?

I'm shaking throughout my whole body
Memories are sinking into my soul
Playing this dangerous game of mental health.
And I am about to fold.


Tell me what I did wrong to you?
Why doesn't this pain go away?
Being a burden to others who love me,
Should I ever think of staying?  

Crying myself to sleep... 
Pushing my feelings aside 
Tormented by a lonely Heart.
There's nowhere for me to hide.
