The Losing Battle

i am scared
i am losing the battle
against despair
what will happen to me?
will i die?
will i go crazy?
will i quit caring?
im fighting harder
but im still losing ground
it threatens to swallow me
nothing seems to help
is there any help?
i feel alone
no one around me
im sinking into the blackness
it terrifies me
it seems as if no one cares
they have all forsaken me
i think about giving in
stop fighting
the enemy is too strong
impossible to beat
my resistance is crumbling
my soul cries for help
but no one hears
no one cares
they just turn away
ignore my pain
i think about just diving in
embracing the despair
it is all that is left
i slowly feel less and less
except for sadness
the tears have long since quit falling
now i am empty
a mere shell
filled with sorrow
i close my eyes
i think about not waking up
seeking solace in the eternal silence
i dont want to give up
but no one else cares
it pushes me farther down
deeper into the blackness
no one notices
no one cares
