-ing

My chest is heaving
I'm barely breathing
Can't find what Im needing
These feelings are so misleading
My heart is steady bleeding
Darkness always feeding
I keep retreating
Pain is not receding
Patterns keep repeating
Failures I keep on meeting
Regret is all I'm greeting
Where is this path leading
This life is so defeating
I always take a beating
Happiness is fleeting
Depression breeding
Insight I'm never heeding
Having thoughts of leaving
Help me please I'm pleading
