You stay up all night trying to finish up something that you know is futile.

And the stress has you clenching your teeth at night as you fall into oblivion.

Countless times you’ve awaken with a pen in your hand,

And when you look outside to a sunny day, everything seems so dull.

The wish to fall asleep and never wake up again becomes more persistent.

However, you have to chose between falling asleep to start everything all over again, or staying up to catch your breath…

You cross the street without looking because you simply cannot bring yourself to care.

You find yourself standing in the rain, wishing it could wash you away…

When you realize you’ve turned into a person that people feel uncomfortable with,

That’s when you realize how much is too much.
