Fading Light

My heart is unbearably heavy, Faith slipping through my fingers like sand. I’ve faced so many troubles, But now it’s my very soul Battling for a reason to hold on. The fight feels endless; I don’t know if victory is possible. I've tried and tried, But each effort drags me deeper- The weight of sorrow is crushing. I long for someone to lean on, To share tears and screams. But everyone seems miles away, And I’m trapped in this darkness, Gasping for air, Drowning in silence. If this is how it ends, I pray I can wear a smile, So the world can see, "This man tried"-a final, desperate wish, Yet failed, like so many shattered dreams. I dread dying young, Leaving hopes unfulfilled, Caught in endless struggle. But God, Do you hear me? The light is fading. Are you still there? I’m pleading for answers, God: Did I sabotage my own life, Or did you lead me down this torturous path, Knowing it would break me? It’s all too much to bear. I feel too much. I’m sorry to my friends, To my parents, and to everyone, I wore a mask of strength, But inside, I was broken and lost. Depression has engulfed me; Financial woes have ground me down. Now, hunger has claimed my life- What a desolate, empty way to say goodbye. I wish for just one more chance, One last path to escape this nightmare. But I’m adrift, lost in uncertainty- Clinging to despair as my only companion. I wish this were just a story, One I could rewrite, But this pain is all too real, And the escape feels like The cold embrace of death- What a heart-wrenching way to say goodbye.
