I'm not sad. It's just that I wake up in the morning and I wish I didn't. Every time I see a car zooming past, I also see myself in front of it. I stopped crying because I feel like my tears are apologies for living. They say it is only a vice but they will never understand how my blackened lungs serves as the only thing that reminds me I am alive just for the very reason that I am still struggling to breathe. The clock is working but my time is frozen. I took its hands and put them in shackles. My body feels a little heavy than usual as it fails to lift me out of my troubles. I read a hundred different worlds from books and wish that I'm in one of them. I'm all of these things...                    but I'm not ******* "sad".
