I cry bitter tears
for the thoughts of my life ending
for the many thoughts of dying
and the constant need for living
pain around grasping
choking and holding tight
breathing heavy
hard pounding in my heart
the silent screams
heard only from me inside
what is so terrible
so terrible I scream
and no one can hear
I really want to live
but the the pain echoes
the darkness heavily weighs me downs
I reach for the light
I search for the way out of darkness
again I hear the screams
no one else hears me
I want life
I really want it
I hear me scream
You can't have me
I won't let go
In total fatigue
I collapse, close my eyes
I have survived
I am alive.
