Curled beneath three blankets in their basement bedroom, they lay, unmoving, on their side. Their heart beats loud, feeling it within their skull.

They overthink so much that it hurts. Tears stain their cheeks. They want to do better, be better, and they just can't seem to figure out how. Life feels empty. They're just drifting through it without purpose.

They're tired. They're fake. They're worthless.

They just want to be numb for a while.
