a lack of sleep
can alter your brain
change your mood
leave you depressed
so i think that's why i've been sad lately
and i think that's why
that fear crept up in the back of my mind
not about anyone else
it's about me
and it's a fear
that is too scary to even say out loud
or write down on paper
i just hope the lack of sleep
is causing it
and it's not the truth
