Fatal Disease

How did all this begin 
How did this illness start 
When I was being torn to pieces   
Or when I was completely ripped 
apart 

Everyday being consumed with intense unrelenting sadness 
Not understanding why pushed me 
further into madness 

As my mental health continued to 
quickly decline 
Dark clouds rolled in the sun just 
wouldn’t shine

These overpowering emotions I just 
couldn’t control 
Every bit of hope I once had they had 
entirely stole 

Emotional overload was bursting out 
at the seams
The deafening sound of my own 
internal tortured screams

Overwhelmed broken and knocked 
down to my knees 
This depression of mine will surely be 
my fatal disease
