my body feels heavy
my arms ache
my stomach goes around in knots
over
and
over.

my heart aches
my emotions are all over the place
my soul cries
over
and
over.

my joy washes away
my face drops
my legs shake
over
and
over.

my anger rushes to my
heart
to my mind
to my fists
to my mouth
over
and
over.

my sadness creeps up on me
swallows me whole
rips my will to shreds
over
and
over.

empathy?
regard for others feelings?
gentle ?
supportive?
i don't know how to be those things anymore.
i don't know how to feel for others pain.
i don't know how to say the right things.
i don't know how to "handle with care".
i don't know how to show that i give a fuck,
because i don't think i do.
i don't care

"u think you're falling apart but you are actually falling into the place you are supposed to be."
maybe that's bullshit
maybe someone made that up to make people feel better about their own shit.
i don't know.
i don't care.
