Lance Harbison's "Ending" is a raw, direct statement of despair. The speaker says they have lost confidence, given up, and have nothing left. They feel they aren't perfect and, worse, that they were never worth the effort. The pain isn't only emotional: they've "grown physically sick," which suggests the weight of it has spread through their whole body.
The image of a "bottomless pit" captures the feeling of sinking with no way to stop. By the end, the speaker says plainly that thoughts of suicide are on their mind and that they've "had enough."
The mood is heavy, tired, and exposed. The short, plain lines and the missing punctuation make it feel unpolished, as if it were written quickly, straight from the feeling. There is no comfort or resolution, only honesty about being worn down.
If you or someone you know feels this way, talking to a trusted person or contacting a local crisis line can help.
