Breaking within

I’m so tired, so fucking tired,

My knees are begging to give in.

My chest is breaking, silence screaming,

My mind caves in, I can’t begin.

Hands are shaking, carrying the weight I can’t bear,

Heart is pounding, crying, “Why must it be this way?”

The world keeps pushing, dragging, crushing,

Forcing me to stand and fight.

I wear a mask that hides the cracks,

But inside… I’m unraveling tonight.

Every breath feels like surrender,

Shadows whisper in my bones.

Smiles are nothing but a prison,

I’m collapsing all alone.

Hands are shaking, carrying the weight I can’t bear,

Heart is screaming, crying, “Why must it be this way?”

The world keeps pushing, dragging, crushing,

Forcing me to stand and fight.

I wear a mask that hides the cracks

But inside… I’m unraveling tonight.

How long can I keep standing,

When the ground keeps caving in?

How long can I keep pretending,

When I’m breaking deep within?

The world keeps pushing, dragging, crushing,

Forcing me to stand and fight.

Pretending I am whole on the surface…

But inside, I’m unraveling tonight.
