"you didn't do anything,
how can you be tired?",
my mother always says
"i don't know",
is my answer
because truly
i don't know
i don't know how to explain
that my anxiety eats up all the energy
without asking or leaving me a choice
so mother
"i don't know" is my answer
because i don't know how to handle it
so
"i didn't sleep well",
would be my lie
so you could understand it too
