you could say

I'm doing okay

happier than yesterday,

just keeping a world of sadness at bay.

you could say

I'm doing alright

the end is far, out of sight

like the millions of stars out at night.

you could say

I'm doing so-so

still a pulsing light but a dull glow

like I've been given steroids but I'm going slow-mo

w h a t c a n y o u s a y t o t h a t ?

Emotions conflict me so damn much sometimes. I want to break down and cry, and I want to stand up and tell myself that I'm okay. I want to be able to tell myself that everything will be alright. I want to be able to myself that it will all get better. I know they say that the night is darkest just before the dawn, but I pray that dawn comes. As much as I feel happy and content, I feel lonely. Maybe I just wallow in my feelings too much. Maybe I'm just exaggerating. I don't know. I guess this is life, though. So I might as well not complain.

I feel like I'm losing everything,

Day by day,

Night by night,

Hour by hour,

And minute by minute.

You're slipping away from me,

The distance is increasing,

And no matter how hard I try,

I cannot breach the gap between us.
