Dark thoughts

I’m okay

I think about it

Everyday

The thoughts run through my head like it’s homework

I tell myself, today is the day

Today becomes tomorrow

The thoughts linger

And then one day, the thoughts are gone

I’m cured.

I’m happy.

Then the cycle continues.

The thoughts return.

The thoughts return because they never left.

I can tell myself they are gone

But for how long

How can they disappear if I never put in the work

Is it me though?

Or is this just the way it was supposed to be?

The thoughts will never leave

Unless I accept it

I accept the fact that I am not okay

I am not okay but I will be okay

The thoughts are coming back again

I’m feeling it again

I’m sinking
