Overtaking
My heart is pounding, about to explode out of my chest
I can’t stop it, can’t fight it
It’s taking over, scratching me out of the picture
I’ve been lost amongst the thoughts in my head
There’s only a small speck of light now
And it’s miles and miles away
I’ve run out of energy to continue
On this neverending journey to myself
A mystery to everyone who sees
This tragic mess that’s taken over
Everything I used to be
I don’t know who I am anymore
Each day it’s harder to wake up
And be okay with what I am
And what I’ve become
I’ve fallen too far
I’ve lost sight of who I was saving
And how to stop it all
From eating me alive
And spitting me out in hell
Giving up is something I said I’d never do
But the thought of that sweet serenity is always on my mind
The hardest thing to fight is yourself
And there’s only so long you can fight a losing battle for
