today, i woke up and the sun was shining
the birds are singing
people are laughing
but i can't enjoy it.
there is this feeling that is creeping from my toes as the light floods my room.
i feel worthless.
i feel exhausted.
there is no more fight left in me
i wake up like this most days now
but it's okay
even on these days where everything is unbearable and my skin is on fire
i know it can't last forever
today, i want to die
but i won't
because there's a chance that tomorrow i'll want to live.
