phase I.

                  i don't feel like doing anything-

        i've lost the energy,
                                   the will,
                                      the love.

phase II.

all i do is sit in my chair-
      snuggled and hidden in my gray sweatshirt-
             laying my head on my desk,

                        or lay,
                          thinking,
                             staring at nothing at all,
                                     in my bed.

phase III.

sometimes,
        with arms draped over my head-
              other times,
                    distressed turnings.

phase IV.

the cool air comes in,
      the rustle of leaves,
             the glimmer of the Helius-
                 none of them enough to wake me up.

phase V.

i walk like a dead person-
     and internally,
         act and
             feel like o
                              n
                              e

phase VI.

                          i'm so lost-
                                  so sad-
                                  so mad these days...

phase VII.

breathing is hard,
              every time i do-
                      i picture the traumatic moments
                                   and sad scenes of nobody

phase VIII.

                  i-
                  i-
                  i've lost the will.
                  i've lost the will.

phase IX.

      but if feels nice-
         here in this secluded,
            internally quiet space with
                   sad music murmured to myself-
                       barely a sound escape my lips; notable.

phase X.

all i can repeat-
all i can see-

i've lost the will.
i've lost the will.
i-
