A Dying Fight

Using all the strength I have
To keep myself awake,
Darkness has my every thought
It's almost more then I can take.
Slowly going under
Begin to hold my breath,
A blank expression on my face
All these thoughts of death.
Drowning seems forever
Though hope is still in sight,
Giving up looks easy
And I'm exhausted from the fight.
Solitude surrounds me
Even when your near,
Choking on this lonliness
Has become my biggest fear.
Release continues tempting
I'm trying to resist,
My eyes fill up with tears
And my hands they make a fist.
Looking back to where I was
About 6 months ago,
Thought this would get easy
But little did I know.
