The Cry Left Unheard

I feel myself unfolding,
As if the life of which I’m holding,
Slowly slips away.

The demons that I’m fighting,
Pull their ropes forever tightening,
I’m drowning every day.

Into the depths of which I’m sinking,
Total darkness keeps me thinking,
That I’m better off this way.

I can’t pull myself back out,
From this hole from which I shout,
Those demons I cannot slay.

But nobody hears me calling,
From the depths hell to which I’m falling,
Deaf ears are my life’s dismay.

I don’t want to struggle anymore,
Under weight of others who left before,
I can’t go on this way.

So I say goodbye to you,
My descendants through and through,
I love you, is all is that I can say.
