When I drown into a sea of debts
When I give in
To the raging waves of depression.
When the strong winds
Of suicidal thoughts
Push me on the edge
When my shadow
Has turned grey with shame
When all I call my own
Disappears into the night
When the earth vomits
All I have done behind closed doors
When I have no home to call my own
When I run out of hope to feed my soul
When my health lies like a lapdog
Will you come?
Will you reach out?
Will you try to snatch me,
From the claws of the soul reaper?
Will you be my shield in this messy war?
Will you be my strength when I’m worn out?
I need to know,
Will you come and rescue me?
