Another one
gone
by the monster that lives
inside of their heads

men, women, children, teenagers
drowning in their thoughts
with no way to escape
their hearts breaking more and more
each day

the tunnel they are in
has no light at the end
so they think
that they'll never escape their troubles
no escape from their demons
that things will never look up from here

the people who are the strongest are the weakest
they help everyone but themselves
too modest to accept help from anyone
when they may need it the most

the only way out
they think
is death
that'll fix everything
all of their problems will be gone for good

they're too broken to realize that
suicide is not the answer to their problems
it takes them away, sure
but it prevents things from ever getting better
