Help me - I'm sad.

I'm being dragged down

By this sinking feeling inside me

That never lets go.

It's the weight on my back

And it's the ill and the tired

When you can't get out of bed

Because you couldn't fall asleep.

Listening to one song

Over and over because

It meant something once

And now it only brings tears.

Reading over that one line

In the book or on the text

Because right now tears

Are the best kind of relief.

Staring back at a lost reflection

The girl in the mirror

Is pitiful and the black mascara tears

Are the only active thing

Because your beating heart is passive.

I feel absolutely nothing.
