Do you ever get that feeling in your stomach
where everything is sinking?
your heart
your body
everything.
It's like you've fallen off of something
and then you're drowning
as the light above slowly fades away.
You're still drowning
the sinking won't stop
but you're not in water.
What even is this?
Everything feels terrible.
Everything hurts.
your mind is racing a hundred miles per minute
asking questions that all begin with
why?
A sense of dread knots in your stomach
and then it twists and turns
until all you want to do is
sink.
You feel as if today wasn't enough
everything feels wrong.
As the day passes by faster than the blink of an eye
the nights are simply
dreadful
painful
and long.
Tomorrow isn't going to be any better
but today wasn't any worse.
Why is it so confusing?
Why does this even exist?
Why can't this night just end?
Fear gnaws inside you
there is still tomorrow.
Suddenly it's all a big loop.
Suddenly you're sinking all over again
and you can't seem to find your way
back to the surface.
