RELAPSE
Days and months I kept it inside
(So many fucking days),
The stress building up,
Like pressure underwater.
Keeping me inside me is harder than it looks.
And it’s something I can’t keep up for this long.
I broke.
I cracked.
The pressure was too high,
And now it’s all overflowing,
All the weight on top of me.
Now I wear my heart on my sleeve;
My heart on my wrist,
My façade destroyed.
All these days for nothing,
All these days lost.
Trying, trying,
Empty promises to myself
Only work for so long.
It’ll be days and days,
Days and months.
I’ll try and I’ll try,
But the stress is a weight.
No matter what,
I know I will break again.
