falling

my shoulders hurt.

i'm carrying too much guilt.

empathy.

emotions.

i feel like i might collapse.

fall to my knees.

it's so much.

it's too much.


my head spins. 

my scraped knees barely hold.

bandages don't help anymore.

i keep falling.

what's the use of walls if they don't work.

i can barely keep anyone in my life.

i can barely keep myself standing up.


my lungs fill with fluid.

i can't breathe.

i keep panicking and screaming for help.

everyone looks.

but no one helps.

i'm alone.


my shoulders become heavier.

i'm just a annoying kid yelling in the middle of their peaceful day.

more guilt.

i'm sorry.


i fall to the ground.

everyone suddenly cares.

they suddenly care about someone they never paid attention to.

eventually they forget.

forgotten,

again.


even more guilt.

i'm a burden.

i crash, but i don't get back up this time.
