Sinking

Slowly sinking into the depths,
A weight on my chest,
A heaviness that never rests,
Dark clouds gather overhead,
As I struggle to get out of bed.
Days blur together,
Time slips away,
And I can’t seem to find the light of day,
Emotions numb, thoughts turn gray,
As I sink deeper into this abyss, day by day.
The world goes on, but I’m stuck in this place,
With no escape from the sadness I face,
The weight grows heavier with each passing day,
As I slowly sink into this dark, lonely place.
The future seems bleak, and hope fades away,
As I struggle to find the strength to face another day,
But I know I must keep fighting,
Keep pushing through,
Or it will consume me,
And I’ll never break through.
So I hold on tight, to the flicker of light,
And try to find the courage to keep up the fight,
For even though the darkness is strong,
I know that someday,
I’ll find my way back to where I belong.
