Unraveling

I'm clawing through my mind,
every thought pulling me closer
to the jagged edge, where oblivion waits.
Fatigue wraps around my bones,
a weight so heavy it almost feels like comfort.
But I can't let it win.

If I fall, I'll vanish, 
swallowed by the dark,
forgotten by everything I once knew.
So I push back, 
fists clenched,
fighting the pull of the void,
because the fear of nothing
is louder than the exhaustion.
