The darkness sets in
It's closing I can't breathe
Light reaches out
I miss its grasp
I'm flung into the spiral
downward I'm dizzy
Just one more
that's all I'll need
I appear happy and fine
I'm scared underneath
Nothing to love
No way to feel
I'm numb feel the ice
Just another one
It's fine
I'll be okay
Tomorrow will still come
even when I'm gone
to early in life
I've doomed this heart
this body, this mind
I'm stuck in this fog
never again to see light
I'm scared of the future
that is forever to be mine
Look in the mirror
this is who I've become
Now it's my life

This is pretty good, the only thing I noticed was that you used the wrong form of to; it should have been too. Other than that good job! Think you could check out my work sometime?
