Walking around aimlessly on the city roads
With no place in thought, no where to go
My legs shake but I keep on moving
Though my mind's screaming for it to slow.

Limbs start shaking with every step I take
One by one my muscles start to ache
Now it's my heart that is begging
To get rid of the smile, to remove everything fake.

My very soul has gone cold due to exhaustion
The fire diminished completely from my eyes
I see a worn out, beaten figure in the mirror
One who has lost her guard and let go of her guise.

I want to withdraw myself from everything
Disappear off to some place with no other person
Because the pressure of the world is unbearable
It has lost its beauty and has become a prison.

I have fought through this unforgiving life
Made it past every second of every day
That now I can't think clear and straight
As though all my reasoning has gone astray.

After all this there's a tightness in my chest
It's weighed down by the burden of society
Why are they so brutal, why is life so cruel?
Where is the tenderness, where is humanity?

What I've experienced has reached such an extent
That the pain I feel has become numb now
But my mind still fights the tiresome battles
Will it ever get better? If yes, then how?

Anyone else feel terribly tired and just emotionally drained?
This is for you.

You'll get through this <3
