i've been sad too much lately.

i came to that realization

when i looked in the mirror and my eyes were bloodshot,

with black bags under my eyes from week-old mascara, 

and not being able to sleep for more than three hours at a time.

once i came to that realization,

when i now affect everyone in my life negatively,

just because i'm having a "bad day".

i came to the realization that it's no longer just a "bad day"

when it's every day.

i came to that realization when i saw the person i've become,

i've given up.

i cry during movies and shows that i didn't cry during before.

i scream at someone internally the second they say one off thing,

the second they do one thing i don't like.

i get yelled at because all i do is sit in bed on my phone,

day after day,

week after week,

month after month.

i've been sad too much lately.

i came to that realization once i felt nothing.
