Why?

Why am I here, left to look at the world in all its pain, blind to the joy, the life, that I once saw everywhere?

I feel lost

Where do I go?

What do I do?

When the feeling of impending doom lies heavy on my chest with every waking breath?

It's suffocating

I can't breathe

I can't move

I feel stuck, trapped inside my life. Trapped inside my bed.

The only joy I can truly experience is when I'm looking at other peoples lives.

But other people have it worse. I know that I am privileged. So why can I still not find joy in who I am?

I know that no matter what people have been through, whether it be losing a finger, or losing an arm, you should never take away from the trauma either feels, because in the end, they both lost a part of them, no matter how big.

So why do I still feel my pain is invalid?

Why do I feel my life is invalid?

I'm a good person, right?

I try to be.

If anyone is listening

If anyone can help

Please just tell me

Why?
