I feel like I'm drowning
But I can see others breathing

And somehow
That's my fault

It's like if I could just learn to be normal
Everything would be okay

And back to the drowning thing;
It's like I'm just inches from the surface
But I don't have the energy to reach it

But I also feel like I'm burning
And freezing
All at once

I know that makes no sense,
But it's like being so cold,
Your insides are on fire

I feel like I'll never be enough
Like everything is pointless
And I have no energy
But I can't sleep at night

Like,
I haven't been posting
On this site
Because I couldn't find the strength
But now I'm posting
In a last attempt to hold on

And it feels like being sick
Like, you know you're going to die
And you know it will be soon
You just don't know when

And it's pointless
I'm pointless
Life is pointless
Everthing is pointless

And I don't know what to do

I'm dying,
Please,
Someone help me...


This is how I feel
I don't know what it is
But this is how I feel

(I'm so sorry)
Sorry this isn't really a poem, and it doesn't really make sense but...

I avoid thermometers
Because at this point
I'm so far gone
And I feel so dead

I'm not so sure they'd find a temperature
(I think I died when you left)

Sadness

I used to run away from it
*But now I've learned to walk with sadness
I was inspired by Disney Pixar's Inside Out. I love being sad.

No matter how hard she tries
Donning gorgeous masks
She's still just a blank canvas

to reach your destination,
you must walk slowly
with passion
and dedication
