I've been feeling a pain
That is foreign to me
I've never felt it before
It's not something I could foresee

It's nothing like a scratch
A bruise, or a cut
It's more like an everlasting
Weight in my gut

My heart, it bleeds
My stomach simultaneously aches
I am always weighed down
By what seems like a mountain of mistakes

Appears as though my actions & words
Have had an irreversible affect
While most of them are good
They don't seem to garner respect

I've hit an all time low
From the emptiness I possess
I used to feel so alive
Now life can only regress

I used to have a purpose
I've lost the thing that makes me spark
The light hurts my eyes
Because now it's only dark
I'm not going to try anymore.
