My Own Enemy.

I wake up,
My head still hazy from the night before.
I ignore the thoughts creeping in so early in the morning.
The unknown is what makes me feel alone.

I get myself together in a routine,
Overthinking what is about to come.
I just want to be done.
I do what they say over and over again,
Putting my everything into something that makes me feel nothing.
I still don't feel good enough.

They say hi, and it makes me want to die,
Because I don't know how to reply.
I want to fit in, but I don't know what that implies
In a generation full of despair.

I never know what to wear,
But I wish I didn't care,
As I feel the air leave my lungs and forget how to breathe,
As if there's a threat coming from behind
When it's only the thoughts in my mind.
Why do I always have to be my own enemy?
