Drowning in tears
there is no one near
to save me from my fears.

        Deeper I go down
   I can no longer breathe
  Can’t you see?
My demons are doing this to me.

  Depths of my mind I’ve never seen.
       A dark place, I can not see
                 hands grabbing me.
Dragging me down to my knees.

They speak to me
telling me things that I start to believe
Voices filling my head
I can no longer comprehend
“You are ugly.”
“You are worthless.”
“You are nothing.”
They never go away

They’re suffocating me.
                           My heart is beating.
In my head I’m screaming
                        and I just keep thinking…

       “Why doesn’t anyone help me?”
