【Nothing】
I don't feel like waking up today.
I'm not prepared to pretend that I'm okay.
People always assume that I'm ready anyway,
But in truth, I'm not stronger than yesterday.
I cower under my comfy sheets,
Whisper to myself repeatedly
To face the music immediately;
Wing it out as I've always had, mentally.
It takes me a great amount of convincing
To pull myself up and start living,
Like nothing really bothers me or something;
But in truth, I brand myself as nothing.
There's nothing I look forward to each day,
Although I try to love myself anyway;
It's not enough to keep my demons at bay;
They eat me up when I hideaway
From the rest of the world at night
Under those blankets and night lights.
They prey on me, who's weak to fight
Off those who came to take a bite.
