The feeling of hopelessness... It can kill. Feedback greatly appreciated!

When you've been alone for a while, 

You seem to get acustomed to the style, 

Then one night an old friend says hello, 

Afterwards you realised that you feel so low. 

. 

I don't quite understand these lows and highs, 

Only that following a high I want to cry 

As the low feeling bites away at my heart, 

I need to be out of this circle and get a fresh start. 

. 

I get scared of trying to have some fun, 

Because I know once it's over I'll be under a ton, 

The weight not giving me room to breathe, 

It won't shift at all at my heaviest heave. 

. 

But I'll keep marching on and on, 

Lonely but pretending nothing's wrong, 

One day it'll be too much to bear, 

But no one will notice when I'm no longer there. 

. 

No one knows and why should they care, 

No one notices, they don't know I'm there, 

Through all the sadness and all the tears, 

No one here understands my fears. 

. 

Will this guilt, depression and pain, 

Lift off my shoulders, let me laugh again? 

Will I ever be able to smile once more, 

Or will life continue as before? 

. 

Will there ever be a day 

When all these feelings will fade away? 

One day it's all gonna be too much, 

I don't want to think of the result too much. 

. 

I hate this life and I hate this body, 

Everything around me seems so damn shoddy, 

I'm angry and upset and I see no end, 

I haven't anything left to defend.
