bane.
"a cause of great distress or annoyance"
a scar
a scab
a sore
dark cloud
closing in
the bane of my existence
and yours, too.
stop it!
relax!
don't worry!
enough
you're not
enough
i'm not enough.
this is too much
i'm too much.
the bane of my existence
is this weight on my chest , this pit in my stomach
the tears in my eyes that never quite make it onto my cheeks for some reason i don't know and i can't explain and—
stop it.
relax
don't worry!
i'm trying and i'm failing. i'm drowning here, don't you get it? i'm trying—
stop it
relax
don't worry
don't freak out
just breathe
don't worry!
you're fine
don't worry.
