Off my Chest

Location

Lately my life has been in shambles. 

I cannot breathe

I cannot eat

If this continues stress will indeed be the death of me

I sing a song in my head that helps me relax

I  lay in my bed and dream of peace

But my brain's torn

My heart, undecided

Lately I've been so uminspired

Unloved

Unworthy

Unsure

Where is this brighter side people often speak of? 

Why is my idle mind so troubled?

When will my life be normal again?

Because the sun still rises and sets the same

I still can smile through all the pain

I can move forward when I want to faint

Is it me?

Is it all in my head?

The darkness

The sadness

The unbearable pain

Maybe I'm just growing up
