Around and around,
there is no end.
Just continues forever
When I was a little girl,
I loved spinning.
Rides at the park,
the slides took me on an adventure.
I would twirl around,
Just to feel my long hair blow in the wind.
Dancing, Singing, and Enjoying.
That is what I used to think.
Now circles are different.
I'm falling over, tumbling down.
I am no longer enjoying,
I get nauseous, I can't handle.
I'm getting dizzy by my thoughts,
When can I get off this carousal of confusion?

I have friends who love me,
A family who cares for me,
even a dog who greets me at the door.
Why do I feel as if nobody is there?
Why do I feel enclosed in a box?
Why can't I ever break free?
I am not alone, I am never alone.
Then why do I always feel it?

Papers all around me,
A dog sprawled across them.
I have a computer on my lap,
A phone by my side.
I can contact people in a heart beat,
And could even hear their voice.
I have a closet full of clothes,
and a beautiful home full of furniture.
I have a fridge downstairs, with food galore,
And water that is nice and pure.
I have my friends, I have my family,
I have such wonderful opportunities that other people don't have.
I should feel lucky,
I should feel blessed,
Instead I feel alone, I feel helpless,
because I can't preform simple tasks,
and I can't help but feel
empty.
Literally rapid fire poems
because that's all I am capable of right now

What's going on?
Where everything should be?
Where everything actually is?
What should I be thinking?
How should I be acting?
Is anyone listening?
Does anyone actually know what is going on?
Please.
Inform me if you find out,
because I have no ******* clue.

I look all around
Other people are going through so much
my problems, my issues,
they are only minor,
they don't even matter.
Yet I accentuate them.
Like they are unstoppable,
but in reality,
all I have is a little anxiety.
These poems are and will be ****-I apologize now

I try, I can't
Everything is heavy all around.
I'm getting lost.
I fall, I stumble
I continue on, like nothing is wrong.
I'm losing.
I stop, I stare
I can't, Not anymore.
I lost.
I was told freshman year, that if I kept working as hard as I did, then I would eventually burn out. I didn't believe the teacher. Well, today, I've hit my point. Right now, I honestly could care less. I regret my decision to not follow what I was told.
Advice to anyone reading: Have balance in your life, I was told to do so, I did not listen. Save yourself while you still have the chance, otherwise before you know it,  it will all feels like nothing.
I just want to sleep....

If you are okay,
If you are alright.
You say you are fine,
I don't believe it.
You say everything is normal,
I know it isn't.
But I don't push,
I'm afraid you'll fall and break.
Old poem, but still applies
