Life is an seemingly endless cycle
You get out of bed even if it takes days
You think about what you could do better but don't actually go through with it
You eat maybe a few bites of food but then throw the rest away because your not hungry
You're never hungry anymore
You can't remember the last time you had a full meal
You have trained your body to not need a lot of food
You go lay down for a little bit but you can't fall asleep
You lay there for 10 minutes
15 minutes
30 minutes
1 hour
4 hours
You go and watch YouTube on your phone
You start calming music
You try to sleep
You can't
Sleepless hours pass
It's 4 in the morning
You need to be up at 7
You try to sleep again
It's 5am
You wonder how your life has come to this
Not being able to sleep with tears streaming down your face
You didn't realize it till now but you are crying
You've been crying for almost an hour
6am
You're finally getting sleepy
6:30am
Almost asleep
6:45am
Finally you are asleep
7am
You are woken up by your mother
15 minutes of sleep
And the cycle repeats

I guess that's not everyone's life
I might just be mine
