The darkness thickens

The pain grows stronger and stronger

suffocating in your thoughts

As you drown in your own tears. 

The feeling of your body shutting down 

the tingling in your body pulsing 

your heart pounding so hard you hear it

your mind telling you to shut down 

As your body tries to fight it

Your eyesight becoming blurry from the tears

Your body starts to give out from all the pain

Your breaths starting to slow

As your eyes close and you're gone...

 

Gone into the world we all feel the safest

Gone into the deepest sleep that throws the real world away

Gone into the sleep that keeps you from feeling anything

I suppose that is why we all envy sleep so much

Sleep is an escape from the real world 

When you wake you realize you're not you anymore

The pain has beaten you down and torn you apart

In the end, you have found yourself lost

You find yourself looking in the mirror

unable to recognize who you're looking at

You've lost yourself

As I have lost myself

As we all soon lose ourselves.
