" I’m fucking exhausted and
I slept for twelve hours last night
and people laugh at my under eye bags
and ask
how long I stayed out last night
and I keep quiet because
I haven’t even left my bed in a week
and I don’t know how to tell them
about the war I’m fighting -
people don’t understand how
tiring it is
to fight yourself.
The thoughts weigh so
heavy on your mind
and you sink -
you sink while everyone else
swims. "
