Possibly my best poem yet. It's funny how in the lowest times our best works flow. It's probably because our hearts are too full to hold all of the feelings in, so it needs to spill a little bit. Strangely though, I don't feel sad anymore. I'm just numb. An endless circuit of numbing moves. Sure, I can be happy. Yes, I get sad. The only thing that frightens me is what happens at the end of the night, when the hopeless and inescapable feeling settles on my chest, leaving me numb.

Cover made by the amazing @mikeyspizzadope (go check them out they're cool) It's 3 A.M., and you can't sleep. Your heart feels like it might burst out of your chest. Your ears are ringing, echoing in your brain, and everything hurts so badly. Your vision is going blurry as you try to fight back the tears, and you're wondering why you even try anymore. At one point or another, most of us have experienced the feeling of worthlessness, shame, or guilt. We feel like we're at rock bottom, and it seems like nothing will ever get any better no matter how hard we try. One thing we do know for sure, though, is that where there is dark, there is bound to be light, no matter how small that speck may be. There's always hope, no matter how far out of reach it may seem. There's always light in the dark. TW/CW: mentions of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts. "I know that even when things seem dark and at rock bottom, there's always hope. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. As small as that little shaft of light may seem, it's not out of reach." - something a friend of mine once told me All of the poems in this book have been written by me. Completed on August 22, 2020
