I should feel energetic.

But instead I'm tired all of the time.

I should be able to sleep at night.

I should feel awake, and alive.

I should be able to sleep at night.

But I barely get any sleep.

I should feel alive, awake and energetic.

So why don't I?

Dear me,

I went to the doctor's today, I had to fill out a survey. They asked me questions; it all came down to if I was depressed or not. So like any normal teen would do, I lied. I get eight hours of sleep every night, I'm happy most of the time, I eat three meals a day and exercise regularly. When in reality...I don't sleep, I don't do anything. Whatever happiness I have quickly goes away. Therapy and support groups are frustrating, sharing your feelings, it's too much work. I don't want to do anything anymore. But if my grades drop mom will notice and get on me about it, which doesn't make me feel too good. Why can't I sleep? Why do I feel so tired all of the time?

I should feel energetic.

I should be able to sleep at night.

I should feel awake, alive and energetic.

I should be able to close my eyes.

But I barely get any sleep.

So why don't I?

When will these emotions end?

They won't.
