The breaking of a spirit, or someone's will.
Is it noticeable? Are there obvious signs?
Joylessness, lethargy, indifference, more still.
Blank faces, tired statements, "it's ok", "I'm fine"s?
Instead of wasting time, you physically feel time wasting you.
The fact is you know that, and simply don't care.
Living or dying makes no difference anymore,
In fact, living is relegated to being a chore.
Death, instead of scary and full of fear,
Becomes something to which you just want to be more near.
Emotions are gone, expect hopelessness and depression.
Going through life in a pitiful cycle of solemn processions.
Whether things get done or not,
Who really cares.
Laying in bed all day is fine, just more failures avoided, the disappointing of people spared.
Things once interesting are now dull,
Hobbies ebb away,
Thoughts of death and doom fill the skull.
Why wake up? Why do anything? Nothing matters anymore.
Life no longer has any allure.
Autopilot is engaged, and there it stays.
Continuously thinking of how to end our days.
No future, no options, no choices, no plan in sight.
Surviving the day, just to suffer at night.
Alone with our thoughts slowly kills us evermore
No reason to look forward to tomorrow, we've heard it before.
It'll get better. Oh really? How and when?
Everything is worse than it was back then.
But people will say just to keep going and give life a try.
However it's impossible when your answer to that question is simply: Why?
