i'm 8 days into thinking

that i've left something behind

i guess i'll just be honest

no i'm not really fine.

.

something else is going wrong

every minute of the day

and the hours pass so slowly

it feels like i'm in space.

.

i'm 8 days into feeling

that everything's a waste

since nothing i do matters

to those who hear it, at least.

.

and something keeps me up

late and later in the night

so what do i do now

that i'm behind in my life?

~

Inspired by and written to the tune of one of my favourite songs:

Hope you enjoyed, and as always, thank you for reading!
