Time after time, It happened again I am drowning in my tears and don’t remember how to swim No strength to keep my head up and breathe Only suffocation by the darkness and the devastating rain No way of living, no way of trying Time after time, I cannot see a thing It rains so hard, it blocks my sight Darkness in my brain I feel nothing but misery Hopelessness in the worst kind of way Time after time, It happened once more Don’t know how to stay Though I cannot say goodbye Too exhausted to find the right words and scribble them down on the piece of paper beside me I wish I could Time after time, I don’t know how to say It happens all the time Tell me how to fight the dark when I’m too sad to even lift my fingertip   I want to stay, I want to fight But I’m tired of staying and I can no longer fight

The Moon
Time after time, It happened again I am drowning in my tears and don’t remember how to swim No strength to keep my head up and breathe Only suffocation by the darkness and the devastating rain No way of living, no way of trying Time after time, I cannot see a thing It rains so hard, it blocks my sight Darkness in my brain I feel nothing but misery Hopelessness in the worst kind of way Time after time, It happened once more Don’t know how to stay Though I cannot say goodbye Too exhausted to find the right words and scribble them down on the piece of paper beside me I wish I could Time after time, I don’t know how to say It happens all the time Tell me how to fight the dark when I’m too sad to even lift my fingertip   I want to stay, I want to fight But I’m tired of staying and I can no longer fight
I wrote this a while back when I was in a depressive episode. I have bipolar disorder. This is what I felt and still feel at times. These words tell the night that lives inside of me.
