my tears burn,
yet i'm drowning like i'm being forced under
i can't speak,
yet my throat hurts like i've been screaming for ages.
i feel so isolated,
yet there are so many people around me like fliesmy world feels so purposeless,
yet i continue to try to make sense of it all.
i don't feel sad,
and yet,
i don't feel happy either.
