I’m tired of breathing, of dragging my feet, Each day feels a cycle I cannot defeat. The laughter I show is a veil, a disguise, Hiding the storm that lives in my eyes. I whisper to shadows, “I just want to rest,” A silence eternal, a permanent guest. Depression’s a weight that I cannot deny, Some days I just feel I would rather die. Yet still I keep walking, though broken, though torn, Through nights that feel endless, through ache I’ve worn. For somewhere inside me a flicker survives— A fragile reminder I’m still alive.

The Weight I Carry
I’m tired of breathing, of dragging my feet, Each day feels a cycle I cannot defeat. The laughter I show is a veil, a disguise, Hiding the storm that lives in my eyes. I whisper to shadows, “I just want to rest,” A silence eternal, a permanent guest. Depression’s a weight that I cannot deny, Some days I just feel I would rather die. Yet still I keep walking, though broken, though torn, Through nights that feel endless, through ache I’ve worn. For somewhere inside me a flicker survives— A fragile reminder I’m still alive.
