Poem about feeling lost and hopeless

I look at myself in the mirror

All I see is a weary, tired face

Worn out from all the battles fought alone

The mind is a dangerous place

I try to run and hide

But my demons follow

I just want to rest and feel peace

But the voices inside haunts me

I'm tired of fighting alone

Every day is just another day

You say it gets easier a little at a time

But how can you live with the voices in your head

Who tells you that you'll never be good enough?

And never worth the fight, just too exhausting?

Just for once, I want someone to stay

Tell me I'm good enough

Tell me I'm worth the fight

Tell me I'm needed

Please, please tell me

You love me.

Because I'm feeling empty

More and more

Each day.

I'm fading.

I'm losing the fight...
