It feels like I'm in a race against time
Why am I running with all of my might
When the finish line is nowhere in sight
I'm far from where I need to be
I no longer feel like me 
But with a heavy heart I keep going
Hoping that dim light will once again start glowing
But this pain is tearing me apart
And the desire to be loved has taken over my heart
With so much darkness inside of me
How can I make anyone happy? 
Physically and mentally I'm at war
The more I fight, the deeper the scar
I just want to feel free
I want to be me
I'm afraid I don't know who I am anymore
I'm afraid of what's on the other side of that door
Who will stare back at me? 
What will I see? 
Will I even recognize me? 
Or will everything be a complete catastrophe? 
These are the thoughts that plague me everyday
These are the thoughts of distrust and negativity that I want to go away
These are the thoughts that have taken over today
So with tears in my eyes the only thing I can do is pray
