* * I feel the darkness grow and stalk                      the halls of my mind,         whispering words of mockery,                   words that I cannot help                                 but take to heart... What if I am not good enough?                                 Am I a failure?                    What if I can't do this?                     Am I lying to myself? What if I make a fool of myself?                     Am I truly talentless?   All of this runs around my mind,        having me chase and bite and       pull my own tail as the darkness          laughs, loud, proud and cruel.              Am I just wasting my time?            Is the quill and ink meant for                               someone like me?            Am I even good at what I do?                    I don't know what to do                    I don't know what to think                             All I know is...is that                                             IT HURTS It all hurts too much... Far too much...                        How I want to hide... * *

Notes

I couldn't fully cage my anxiety and depression,

but it's leaking out of the cracks, making me

feel restless, tired, weak and making me question

everything I do.

...I guess It's fortunate that this is happening before

I start my course on the 17th of this month,

But it's so draining to deal with.

I feel so exhausted physically, mentally and emotionally.

I feel like all my energy is being sucked out of me... I want to scream and cry...

I need a break and fresh air so I'm going for a walk.

I'll be back soon.

Lyn
