"Not tonight No not tonight" The lyrics play in my ears I knew this was coming In a wave or a rush I was fine, okay , meh at the least Then the song played Speaking of the fear of love and rejection I feel so often Then all the other thoughts of feelings came pouring out In a wave with a rush Woe is me Woe is my grandma Woe is my health Woe is all around and all consuming Woe is my life and others These are the thoughts I wish would stay hidden But not tonight No not tonight Tonight my feelings say "I demand to be felt" I respond Not tonight No no tonight This night I have nowhere to escape All can hear my weeps All will know my feelings are real Even me Not tonight No not tonight Spare me just one more day

Not Tonight
"Not tonight No not tonight" The lyrics play in my ears I knew this was coming In a wave or a rush I was fine, okay , meh at the least Then the song played Speaking of the fear of love and rejection I feel so often Then all the other thoughts of feelings came pouring out In a wave with a rush Woe is me Woe is my grandma Woe is my health Woe is all around and all consuming Woe is my life and others These are the thoughts I wish would stay hidden But not tonight No not tonight Tonight my feelings say "I demand to be felt" I respond Not tonight No no tonight This night I have nowhere to escape All can hear my weeps All will know my feelings are real Even me Not tonight No not tonight Spare me just one more day
My school had an outbreak and I can't leave my dorm until tomorrow evening. I feel stuck in more ways than one.
