These days

I feel I can't do anything right

Everything I say or do

Ends in an argument

Big enough

To leave me stranded

On my own

Only my thoughts, emotions, & memories

Keeping me company

Yet keeping me awake

All the same

To ponder over

The simplest of things

As I curl up on my side

And try to not give in

Even though the pressure

Is slowly building

Slowly pushing

Cracks forming along the surface

Of the glass jar

I keep things bottled away in

To focus on at a later time

Only to never be touched

Until it's truly too late.
