  Sometimes,
the world
crumbles around me,
I'll be fine,
but then I won't be.

  Just like that,
just that quickly,
my entire
life changes,
I become engulfed
in this storm,
raging inside
my own head.

  I forgot
how to smile,
and how to laugh,
all I know
is that I am
not okay,
I am not
okay at all.

  All I know
is that the pain
in my head,
somehow became
the pain
in my body.

  My muscles ache,
and my limbs
are becoming
weak and heavy.

  My mind is
spinning a
thousand thoughts,
into one
single moment
of emptiness,
and yet I
keep it
to myself.

  A secret kept
to the grave,
fear takes over,
and silence
ensues,
my struggles
are my own,
not the
care of others.

  Why burden
anyone with
pointless things,
that even
I can't make
sense of
anymore.

  So I just
lay here,
alone,
this body is
a coffin,
and now
I'm buried
alive.

T.O.G.K.
