Killing me inside Trigger warning

Depression feels like it's eating me inside,
Feels like the world is ending and all I want to do is cry,
Bills piling up so high,
And my worth of living makes me want to die,
It's killing me inside,
I can confide,
But what will it change,
Everything feels out of range,
Screaming for a life preserver as I'm drowning,
But the water is forcing me under,
I'm suffocating,
I'm losing,
It's killing me inside,
Try so hard but fail each time,
I'm losing an uphill battle,
I lost my battle cry,
Maybe it's just easier if I gave up,
And let surviving die.
