The weight on my chest
The dark in my mind
The beat of my heart
The ache in my head
The burn in my eyes
The stress on my shoulders
The load in my hands
The itch on my wrists
The sleepless nights
The restless sleeps
The questions asked
The words unsaid
The overthought conversations
The analyzed interactions
These things eat at a person
Until there's nothing left inside
The empty shell
But their bones and their brain
Stewing in darkness and depression.
