Break down.
Once I start, I can't stop
Brokenness runs through me, threatening to ruin me
Tears pour down my face
Heaving sobs escape my lips
I am saturated with misery, it fills every pore of my being
Sadness seeps through
Anger flows, swirling inside
The shadowing smoke of my despair clings leaving me screaming for air
Pressing closer and closer
Crushing me.
My life is a pit of despair
I'm on the brink of chaos and destruction
I'm dangerously on the edge...
one more push
and I'm gone.
Emotions fly around me creating a dark aura
Darkness stains my heart
I'm a dark hole, a void, empty
The shadows haunt me, drag me farther and farther into the darkness
My fears whisper I am not enough
The whispers scratch inside my mind
torturing me
trying to escape.
The flames of pain crawl slowly across me, leaving me hurt, burned and ruined
The pain overrides every thing, taking over and controlling me
I can't contain my emotions anymore, they rise to the surface
Struggling to break through.
Ripped and shredded,
my life
is broken.
Mind numbing pain fills me
I'm a mess of sick twisted emotions
The rain of my tears are a storm
creating destruction
battering my world.
I can't handle this anymore, I am done.
I have hit the bottom
Everything is crashing down around me
Happiness and hope fall away
leaving me alone.
I truly am broken, ruined, shattered
I am a lost cause
slipping away
faster and faster
each day
