I stare at the screen

my face is blank and my eyes are wet

I look at the many little red squares

so many notifications

but they're just streaks

I stare at the screen

thinking of a way to distract myself

I am hurt

I stare at the screen

the light blurs together and I stare.

I stare until the screen goes black

there I am.

In the reflection, I see myself

my hair is unkempt

my eyes are full of tears

but I set it down

I am no longer looking at the screen

my cat comes to lay with me

I thank God for everything he's done and is helping me through.
