Pain in your eyes.
Fighting yourself,
To be who you are.
You refuse to sink.

Smiling to fight back,
Trying to forget.
Alone you feel,
Yet you refuse to sink.

Your mind is gone.
Emptiness takes over your body,
Filling it with whatever will fit,
You need to refuse to sink.

Losing hope like blood,
Slowly seeping from your veins.
Looking around for someone to pick you up again,
You must refuse to sink.

Days are filled with loneliness,
Like happiness is just an illusion.
Just wanting to go away from this,
You have to refuse to sink.

Friends stop calling,
It seems as though everyone’s stopped caring.
Under the radar,
You’re trying your best to refuse to sink.

Walls are building up,
Pushing away all love.
Self-worth is crashing down,
You feel yourself begin to sink.
