Okay

Being relentlessly chased by the Dark night Breathing right near my ear The shadows are latched onto my back Continuous days of The rain knocking down the roof Of not being able to see anything Past the midnight city skyline Pulling up a smile Even while the parasite is Eating me up from the inside Crying in the dark of the moon Losing my footing During the easiest steps I would usually Be able to break into Like breathing air I’m losing air All these steps When I feel like I’m past The hill I fall down again To see another one In front of me The city lights are dazzling But I don’t see no face In the neon billboards In the headlights of yellow taxis It’s hard to look up When you’re anywhere but down It’s hard to breath When you’re all but crying your Heart out It’s gonna be okay They say But I just can’t see it I just can’t see past this All my prayers All seem to fall apart to dust Giving my everything into what I do not know Leaving me Useless, broken, and dumb Everything I do just Feeds the parasite My pain My tears My breath Breaking down Losing confidence In my very own existence How do I feel I’m okay When everything is Crumbling inside When my outsides are still whole When the waters are still To be crashed into shipwreck The moment I let my shoulders loose Pressure is closing in Everything is closing in Try to scream But I guess they’ve taken my voice too I scream nothingness Into the void The bright dreams Tearing up into pieces Burned down at the stake Of reality Holding onto hopes That vanish once I open my palms Leaving me with only my teardrops Walking towards nowhere Losing everything I thought I was Losing everything I am Hands slipping Hearts breaking Heads aching Happiness leaking Until I’m drained Of it all Until there’s Nothing left
