How Far...

In the silence of the night, I hear the whispers call,

A battle in my heart feels like I'm bound to fall.

How far did I think I could take it,

Each scar is a story, but I can’t seem to shake it.

How long before I wanted to end it?

Caught in the cycle, I can’t pretend it.

Searching for light in a world so dim,

Fighting these shadows, feeling so grim.

Every tear that falls, a piece of me released,

But the weight of the pain never seems to cease.

How far did I think I could take it,

Drowning in sorrow, can’t seem to fake it.

How long before I wanted to end it?

Caught in the cycle, I can’t pretend it.

Searching for light in a world so dim,

Fighting these shadows, feeling so grim.

But in the darkness, the silence grows loud,

A weight on my chest, I’m lost in the crowd.

Each breath feels heavy, each moment a fight,

In the depths of despair, I’m fading from sight.

How long before I wanted to end it?

Caught in the cycle, I can’t pretend it.

Searching for light in a world so dim,

Fighting these shadows, feeling so grim.

So here’s to the nights that stretch on so long,

Where hope feels like a distant, forgotten song.

How far did I think I could take it?

In this endless struggle, I fear I won’t make it.
