Broken, wounded, dark inside

We all fall apart slowly as the illness tears us down

Dark inside
So heartwrenchingly sick
Your heart never to be knit again
You can't find a way out of the darkness
But I know exactly how you feel

Dark inside
Struggling not to just end it all
Struggling to force a false smile onto my lips
Being destroyed form the inside
Trying to pick myself up from the shame I am onstantly forced to live in

Dark inside
You should really know that there is absolutely no way out of here
For I have been trying for years
Completely shattered by every single thing
And left alone to die

Dark inside
We're so far away
Anyone who is here now will be here for all eternity
Wasting away to nothing
Until the devil gives us further notice

In this piece, I was trying to channel the anxiety and depression that so many of us face nowadays and can't seem to escape.
