"What's Wrong?"
I can’t place it
I want to cry but I’ve passed that point
So far deep
releasing this would require energy
and I have none.
I’m furious and it’s overwhelming
I’m angry at myself
for feeling so morose
Self loathing? No it can’t be…
I need to cry,
I need to cry
When I wish to I can’t
yet I can when i don’t
I’m fed up with all of this
but too tired to do anything about it
I want something different
I’m sick of feeling things so intensely
I wish I were callous to emotion
instead of letting it drown me.
I want more than this;
who’s fault is it but mine
for falling short?
my hands convulse
what is happening to my sanity?
I’m crying for no reason
I need this
I need this.
I’m not happy.
