I wanna let go,

yet I hold on tight.

I breathe it in,

Just to say goodnight.

Dying within,

I scream and shout,

While laying still,

In this deafening silence.

I take a glimpse,

Only to find,

Everything's all okay.

When will it ever end?

And why can't I,

Stand to fight?

I wanna let go,

To breathe it in,

Just to stop from dying within.

While lying still,

I take a glimpse,

Everything seems so fine.

So why aren't I?
