It's funny how you can live in a home full of people
But privacy is nonexistent
The definition of alone time is sleep
Besides all that you still feel alone
You can say it's either depression, over-thinking, or simply loneliness
But I try to not feel alone
Try to not feel like a deep dark hole in an abyss of continuous deep dark holes
Try to not feel like a staircase that is narrow and never ending. Try to not feel like nothing
But it's hard not to feel like nothing when nothing always lingers in your mind
Nothing is like a sharp deadly turn on a rainy day
Nothing is something
Nothing is everything
Nothing is me
I try to surround myself with smiling faces but somehow they make me sadder
Sadder because I wonder what they're so happy about
Wonder how they do it
Wonder how they don't feel like nothing
People say fake it 'til you make it
But how can I fake something that made me
You might ask what made you, now let me tell
A pinch of depression, a sprinkle of anxiety, a teaspoon of lip, a cup of fat, and a gallon of blood and tears
People might look at me and say it's not that bad, other people have it worse
But having a vapid mind is pretty bad, and kind of worse
I realize that people I know, the close ones
Will never truly understand what I go through
Neverending thinking, never-ending planning, plotting, remembering, reminding, never-ending.
But I try not to feel alone
I try not to feel like nothing
But nothing is something
Nothing is everything
Nothing is me.
