It’s funny how pain sneaks up on you

When you’re sitting alone at home

Thoughts going 100 miles an hour

Maybe you’re not even focusing on anything

Netflix on in the background

Scrolling through whatever pointless app

And yet the feelings still creep up on you

So strong they almost entirely engulf you

Dragging you down to their level

Forcing the pain

The overthinking

The incredibly unlikely situations

At what point does it just go away

When is it safe to just be

It’s so exhausting being this sad

It’s so tiring trying to hold it all together
