32/F Just another face in the crowd, / trying to survive this life like the rest of you.
The summer wears your ghost Like a thin veil that blows against my skin with the lightest breeze. I almost forget it's there, until I'm squinting through the haze, wondering what's blocking my view. Oh right, it's you.

Summer's Ghost
Is everything okay? Everything is great! I had a great day, it's sunny outside, everyone is happy, I love life. Is everything okay? I mean yeah, today was a good day, I got through it fine, it went quick and I learned new things. Is everything okay? I think so, I don't remember anything not being okay... Is everything okay? I don't know, I feel off, did I make a mistake? Did I say all the right things? Is everything okay? Maybe not, is my cat feeling okay? Are my parents alright? Is everything okay? No! I must've done something wrong, I bet everyone is mad at me. I'm lazy, I'm dumb, I can't do anything right! "Hey, is everything okay?" "Oh yeah, totally fine, how about you?"

The Voice of Anxiety
I feel it creeping in again, The low that has a name, A darkness I refuse to claim. And when I'm alone with my thoughts, It eats me alive, I don't know if I'll survive. It tells me I'm nothing, That I deserve bad things, And whatever else life brings. I don't know, I'm starting to believe it.

It's Getting Pretty Dark
They said that "Virginia is for Lovers" But instead that's where I died. That girl never came back And I have definitely cried Over the loss of her innocence, Her empathy and light She tried to come back And shine twice as bright But I told her to stop fighting That it was alright That it was okay to break down In the middle of the night What happened was unfair And it wasn't her fault But now that's locked up In the back of the vault I am not she And she is not me But without her Who would I be?

It's like I'm living in small moments of Other people's happiness. But who's really 'happy' these days?

Apathetic AF
I am empty, Out of gas On a forgotten road I've reached an impasse.

I was told long ago That my light would attract others. Maybe that's why I love moths so much.

Why are we told Our whole lives To chase our dreams When dreams don't exist And if they do They just die.

Dead Dreams
I am cursed to live Only in small increments Of happiness While the rest of my days Are filled with the loss Of friends, jobs, and hope.
