Exhausted in my Bones

Exhausted to the bone, under pressure's heavy hand

No way out, just functioning, lost in this barren land

Screams echoing inside my head, a constant, chilling sound

I listen to myself, but nothing moves, I'm rooted to the ground

Muscles twitch, but strength is gone, a hollow, empty plea

Swimming upstream, I'm drowning slow, pain's relentless sea

Rescue's in sight, a distant gleam, but no one seems to see

Hope dies last, they always say, for those who still believe

Every breath a heavy weight, each sunrise, just a blur

Day in, day out, the same old fight, a silent, painful stir

My spirit's frayed, my vision dim, the light begins to fade

Trapped within this mental prison, a life so subtly played

Muscles twitch, but strength is gone, a hollow, empty plea

Swimming upstream, I'm drowning slow, pain's relentless sea

Rescue's in sight, a distant gleam, but no one seems to see

Hope dies last, they always say, for those who still believe

Is there a crack in this concrete wall? A whisper in the storm?

A single spark, a guiding star, to keep my spirit warm?

This aching heart, it longs for peace, a moment to just breathe

Before the final, crushing wave, and all my hopes are wreathed

Muscles twitch, but strength is gone, a hollow, empty plea

Swimming upstream, I'm drowning slow, pain's relentless sea

Rescue's in sight, a distant gleam, but no one seems to see

Hope dies last, they always say, for those who still believe
