Exhaustion sets in
And out of a million tiny silent moments,
I scream
My thoughts have been anything but pretty
I've been clothed in guilt and inability to overcome
And yet you say "stay"
It feels unnatural and uncomfortable
I cannot be what you are looking for
And yet you say "stay"
What I cannot see is taking shape
My senses heighten like a blind man
Piecing together the unknown and intangible
This is not without meaning
But I cannot fight like you fight
I cannot wage war like you do
So as I close my eyes, would you take it on
Would you rise to release me?
