Have you ever felt so low?
You know,
I feel my sadness grow.

Have you ever heard my cries?
I'm all alone,
My tears have dried.

I'm breaking down,
I'm sinking now,
Deeper
And
Deeper
I go.

I feel like I am out of sight,
Out of the light,
That once shone bright.

My heart just aches
So bad
It's sad.

When nobody seems to listen to you,
When nobody seems to smile at you,
When nobody seems to whisper and say,
How much you mean to them.

I retreat.

I repeat,
I retreat from this mess.
I'm still figuring out
How to feel much more less.

Maybe somewhere,
Some place faraway,
Somebody's waiting to hear what I say.
How great it would be if there were such a day!

But here I live,
A world so realistic,
So materialistic.
Will anyone stop
To care and share?

Everyone has their lives to lead,
My problems are their burdens,
Like unwanted ****.

Perhaps I should keep silent.
I shouldn't say a thing.
I'll let my emotions bottle up,
And then let them explode.

I wonder if I'll just be a spark,
That briefly lights up,
The sky that's dark.

At least by then,
I'm not a burden.
And nobody would notice,
That I'm gone.
