Falling

Falling slowly, drowning in my tears
No one knows my pain, my fears
I tried to show them, bare my soul
But still, no one tried to console

Falling slowly, constantly alone
I cant help but let out a painful moan
The moment that i do the water rushes in
A single drop for every forgotten sin

Falling faster, the downward spiral goes on
I'm getting worse no more mask will i don
My vision starts to blur, my heart starts to slow
This could have been stopped many moons ago

Falling faster, maybe this isn't so bad
No more pain or fears will be had
I close my eyes before everything goes black
Relaxed, arms out wide, head thrown back

Falling no more. I accept this fate
It was set since mine and depression's first date
Let the pain and fear believe they have won
But I know differently, I feel neither, not a single one

Falling no more, on the floor I lay
An ocean of tears, is the price I pay
No one cares, no one is calling
If they cared they could have stopped me from falling
