40. Today (Poem)

Today I feel like a lost puppy

But maybe tomorrow I'll be okay?

I have to decide now who I want to be

But I'm not able to reason this way.

I'm scared of myself

Scared of my shadow and mind

It's a war zone in there

And an answer I've yet to find.

Am I really unwell?

Am I truly anxious and depressed?

Am I just being pathetic and weak?

Will I pass the doctor's tests?

This is what I can't decide

Am I depressed or am I just sad?

My mind is arguing back and forth

I just don't know, isn't that bad?

I'm scared to ask for help

In case I can't handle what I hear

Yet I need something, not this Tartarus,

Am I the version of me that I fear?
