Depressed Again

Waking up to a heavy chest

My body begging me to sleep again

And my anxiety begins the second I realize I'm alive

I'm trying to learn to function

With all of this negative energy inside me

I know it'll pass and

I know it'll get better

But right now it hurts

I feel unloved

Unloveable

I feel lost inside myself

A place I can't stay too long

Before I lose my mind

I can tell myself I'm worth it and

That my worth isn't defined by others

And it works for a bit

Until something else comes up and

My heart loses its energy

And I either feel like giving up

Or ready to fight everyone
