Collection of the dark days

Don't

Have you ever sat
With a heavy heart
Ashamed of yourself in your entirety?
Have you ever looked in the mirror
And repeated every morning
This is as good as it gets?
Have you ever cried
But so quietly even mice
Wouldn't know what was happening?

No?

Then don't
Don't you dare
Ever look at me
With those eyes
So full of lies and bullshit
And tell me
You "understand"
Because so very few people
Actually know
What it's like
To stay awake
All night
Too afraid to sleep
Because you're not sure
If you'll ever wake up again
