I’m not a quitter,
But hate feeling I need to compete.
Am I choosing to run a race
Where I’ll only face defeat?
Each glance you give away
Feels like a line I failed to say.
Am I the comfort in your night
While someone else owns your day?
I tally every silence,
Weigh each pause like it's a sign.
......
some days,
the sun doesn’t rise
so much as it remembers
to keep the sky from breaking.
i’ve seen things
that taught me how quickly
a world can turn to ash -
how quiet a room becomes
after goodbye.
but still,
......
my mind is overthinking
the ship keeps on sinking
the cup is overflowing
but my mind keeps on going
nothing but my anxiety growing
my sadness surely showing
but my mind is now rowing in my thoughts
the ship might as well be a yacht
a party for the distraught
with the demons they haven't yet caught
