we fall apart
and turn it into art

my ears close up,
the voices fade into the background.

all i can hear is my thoughts,
they cloud my mind,
make my heart feel heavy.

breathing comes in shaky bursts,
drops of sweat slip out my skin,
i’m unable to grasp control of it.

i want to call out,
scream for anything..anyone,
but not even a single whisper comes,
i’m trapped.

scrolling through the internet,
having the mindset,
that we need to fit society’s expectations.

day by day,
our lives waste away,
as we compare ourselves to others,
trying to change ourselves.

some days are grave,
so you have to be brave.

when hard days arrive,
always remember that you will survive,
do not fray,
for things will be okay.

just keep your head up high,
remember it's okay to cry,
you will make it through this,
finding your way out of the abyss.

think about all of the good things,
the joys they bring,
and i’ll always be here for you,
even when you are blue.
