Sadness

My soul is hidden in a fog of sadness,

The darkness engulfing me with no gladness.

My chest feels tight and my breathing's labored,

Struggling for air as my heart's been scarred.

My heart's been broken, my hope's been taken,

My spirit's weak and all I feel is aching.

My energy's drained and my despair's unending,

My pain won't stop and all I do is mending.

The gloom and darkness keep on coming,

My will to live is slowly numbing.

I want to reach out but I'm too scared,

My life's a mess and it's too much to bear.

My thoughts are dark, my outlook bleak,

I'm stuck in a void where I can't speak.

I'm slowly sinking, I'm scared and hopeless,

Will I find a way or will I be left to cope less?
