Battle
Drowning but they all are breathing
Struggling to stay afloat
My ability to feel is gone
Numbness fills my body
Staring blank at the wall
Wondering what my life has become
I try to change
But it keeps bringing me back down in the darkness
I’m blinded with this thing that has consumed my life
Brought along an addiction I cant seem to shake
Scars on my heart, from the battles it has fought
The days go by as I grow weak
It has me by the throat, slowly taking my life away
Years go by, nothing has changed
This battle I’m in is about to consume my life
There’s nothing left, I spill my heart onto this page
gasping for a breath.
This thing has taken my life.
(2014)
I wrote this during one of the worst years of my life
