 Not Better, But Worse


I'm so lost today

Can't find my sanity, my happy, my normal

can't find the air to breathe

Can't stop the tears that keep welling up and falling over the edge

can't stop it from bulldozing over me

can't distract myself

can't stop myself

It hurts - I can't make it stop

where is my control

how did I do so well yesterday - pushing through on righteous indignation and anger

only to fall apart crumbling today

what's wrong with me

These tears are so old - the well should have dried to nothing left to give aeons and aeons ago

But it just keeps raining in, filling up, waiting to spill

I need help - but noone can help me

not if I can't stop it myself
