Thanatophobia

Desperate for purpose, reasons to strive
Motivation is essential to sustain life
Without passion, an inner drive
One starts to question being alive

Day in, day out
This lack of ambition is taking its toll
Wandering senseless, without direction
Slowly spiraling out of control

Routines, patterns of depression
Alone with only the thoughts in your head
Memories, history of repression
Hearts pounding, fast-short breaths
Alone with only the thoughts in your head

Use these eyes to change your perception
With them demand a whole new perspective

Visions of grandeur, dreams of perfection
Enough of this absence of forward progression

A constant feeling of disappointment, struggling to stay afloat
Don’t let go
Stay afloat

One of these days you will be too indecisive
Swimming deeper, deeper than before
Breathing in the water
Breathing out the will to live
Turn towards yourself
Breathing out the will to live

Coughing up the water from the time you spent deciding
Courage to live or fear of dying

You see everything clear for the first time
