My humanity is slipping from my soul
With each breath I breathe
The darkness inside seeks to encompass
Every last corner of my being
The struggling is becoming too much for me
Everyday when I look in the mirror
I hate myself just a little more
I try to smile but find no reason
I barely make it out the door
My light is fading
With each second of everyday
I find my thoughts traveling down a scary road
One I find myself closer to taking
There is a sliver of a corner
Where the darkness has not taken over
One that still has hope
Is it enough to keep me here
Tethered to an earthly existence
Or will the darkness take over
And I'll find myself
Venturing down that dark road
