there are nights where I feel on top of the world, and there are nights where I feel like I'm sinking to rock bottom. nowadays I usually deal with the ladder and I can't find a latter to climb back to the top. I know I should **** it up. people leave. people forget. people who make your eyes illuminate don't bat an eye at the sound of your name. it's all the same. I don't know why I keep coming back. back to the same thoughts. back to the same people. back to the same bed at night, a Petri dish for horrendous thoughts to grow and multiply. I know it's just another bad night; another night of wondering if things will change in the 5 hours of tainted sleep I'll get. but what's it going to take to claw my way back up to feeling at least content?
