Strenght Within

I keep on wishing on an empty star
So many hopeless nights
Trying to cry the pain away
The dormant feeling of depression
Is knocking at my door
Telling me to just give in
I feel myself let it in
I can’t escape the forever looming darkness
And it’s all but consuming hunger
I feel the rise of emotions
Diminish inside my chest
Fell so deep can’t even breathe
Like poison in my veins
It slowly wreaks its havoc on me
Slowly I parish into nothingness
The slow decay of my own soul
Has got me on edge
The edge of the cliff calls my name
Tempting me to jump over the edge
Promises of eradicating all the pain
I see the light far off in the distance
Too far to grasp, too far to hope for
Soon I’m engulfed in my own sorrow
It’s enough to send me over the edge of destruction
Waves of darkness wash over me
Compelling me to let go
A voice of reason
Tells me to keep holding on
Saying this is not the end
That this was not the way it’s supposed to end
But something inside can’t see the truth in that
So many terrible nights
Has got me doubting
Somewhere deep down inside where it’s numb
It’s trying to tell me that it may not be easy
But it doesn’t mean I should give up
Give up to all the sorrow, pain, and hopeless dreams
I try to pull myself out of this pit
It seems to have a tight hold on me
Almost making me want to give in again
But I see the light again
It’s a lot closer now, Can feel the hope
A tidal wave of new found strength fills me
All the shadows disappear into the light
Feel the poison being sucked out of me
No longer hear the whispers of doubt
I’m standing atop of all my failures
Now behind me
