The Descent


Lost In a sea of students Flying low Below the radar of the teachers So low Evading the eyes of my parents Sliding Deeper and deeper into the darkness Alone I fall fast into all the things I was warned about Addiction Haunts me every day A cycle That is never ending Depression Hits me hard and fast A lethal combination That I cannot escape I fly low So low into the hands of depression and addiction No one even notices that I am gone Forever
