Almost empty
Searching for the energy
To keep moving when everything else stops
I need to fill up
I’m running out of fuel

Low on self esteem
Out of motivation
No more soul
Drained by my demons
I’m running on fumes

Need to find a reservoir
I’m losing my control
Begging my limbs to push on
While my mind is suffocating
It’s getting hard to see

They say to keep on going
But they’re all filled up with gasoline
They don’t have a busted battery
They persevere with ease
But I’m still struggling to move

Soon things start giving out
First my appearance
Then my attitude
Lastly my hope
I have to refuel

At the end of my days
With nothing left
I reached out one last time
And something grabbed me

It let me to the river
And pushed me in
I was enveloped in the current
But as my air ran out
I didn’t drown

That’s when I realized
I didn’t need absorb fuel
I needed to release the toxins inside me
Cleanse my entirety
And finally be free

Never needed gasoline
Never needed fuel
Just a fresh start
Just a clear head
And now I can breathe
