My brain has been clouded with migraines, barely any rest

Trying to get up

Trying to open up

Trying to be able to read and talk

I’m checking in with you

I hope you’re doing well

I miss you

I been feeling sick

But I’m trying to make it

Just trying to make it

I am hugging you deeply

You smell like lilies and spring

I’m checking in with you trying to find a way out of here,

God you know how badly I need to leave?

I have tried so hard and I can’t

But I will keep trying and find a way to you

I’m checking in.
