My life doesn’t seem to be going anywhere
Everything is crashing down on me
I don’t seem to be making any progress
And I don’t even feel like ME

It seems the world is keeping me in a dark corner
And I can’t seem to break free from anything
I want to feel the sunshine on my face again
I want to be able to breathe with ease

I don’t want to swim in a pool of tears
I don’t want people thinking there’s something wrong
I don’t want to feel stuck with my head in the sand
I don’t want to be like puddle of stagnant water

She says “You’re distracted and acting strange”
She says “I don’t like what you are doing”
She says “I don’t know what’s wrong with you”
She says “You need to stop what you’re doing”

Leave me in peace as I yank at these chains
I’m gathering my thoughts so that I can move
Give me some room as I learn how to breathe
Give me a minute so that I can get back on track

I’m going on hiatus from everything now
Writing, and reading, and ficly
I’ll come back, I promise
Once I figure out my life again
