​I can feel it coming on again,
And it scares me to death,
I'm struggling to stay afloat,
Fighting for every breath,
The darkness is coming,
It's drowning out the light,
How do I continue to hold on?
Where do I find the strength to fight?

I knew the peace wouldn't last forever,
In truth it never does,
The darkness is forever present,
Like a storm cloud hovering above,
I want to run away,
I can't go through this again,
But I don't even know what I'm running from,
When it's it's coming from within

I try to laugh it off,
Drink my fears away,
Pretend like this isn't happening,
Keep my fears at bay,
But my heart feels like its being consumed,
By doubts, guilt and self-hate,
And every time I try to counter act,
My strength just flows away.
The simplest thing can set me back,
And ruin any progress that I've made,
No matter how far I've come,
This depression I can't evade.

Please set me free,
I really don't think I can survive this time,
I know one day things will seem brighter,
And I'll be just fine,
But the lowest points I experience,
Are to hard for me to deal,
There's simply too much emotion,
For one person to feel,
I wish I could be a person,
Who shakes it off and carries on,
But until that coldness leaves my heart ,
Life simply feels wrong.

I'm standing on the edge now,
Looking now at the depths below,
You may not understand,
But I do hope you know,
That I have tried to fight this,
This isn't me just giving in,
I just cant deal anymore,
With the demons from within.
