The pain that I feel can't be described with words
And my sobs are the only thing that can be heard
My thoughts keep me up at night
I'm in a constant fight
Just to live and feel free
When in reality I don't feel like me
My anxiety has a hold of me
But I'm a fighter determined to break free
The thoughts keep my mind in a loop of confusion
So I'm hurting myself with pure illusions
They say to occupy my time
Try to distract my mind
They say it's all in my head
Well that's all easier said
When you haven't gone through the pain that I do
I don't expect any sympathy from you
Because you simply can't understand my situation
Nor can you understand my frustrations
I'm in a fight with myself
To better my health
All I ask for is love and time
While I work to heal my mind
And bring this darkness to an end
So that I can shine bright again!
