Was it somewhere between the five funerals and student loans?

When did waking up become a chore?
Was it before or after I lost the energy to cry myself to sleep?

When did other people's problems become my coping mechanism?
Was it when I forgot how to feel my own emotions or did I decide other people were easier?

When did happy start feeling like a lie?
Was is when I needed happy the most and it wouldn't help?

When did my skin start to burn as I panic?
Was it when I stopped letting myself feel hurt?

When did my chest start hurting every minute?
Is this what being hurt makes you feel like?

Why can't I remember being okay?
