A Letter To Anyone


Dear Everyone,

I think I'm failing life.

My brain tries to decide what's important,

But it always gets it wrong.

What am I even doing?

Missing homework,

Missing friends,

Missing a purpose.

 

Can you help me?

Motivation doesn't exist,

At least not in my brain.

I need it, if I am to do anything

With this giant list of things

That need to be done.

 

Due dates loom over my head,

Branches after a long rain

Ready to drench me in water

At the slightest touch.

I'm drowning in the raindrops.

Or my teardrops.

 

I can't tell the difference.
