Tonight.

Tonight
I'm struggling
I'm fighting the battle that is
My depression
I'm trying to keep my head
Afloat
Trying to hold in the tears
Trying to quell this sick feeling in my gut
Trying to get warm
Trying to stomach myself
Trying to reign in my thoughts

Tonight
I have needs
For things I know will not be
Met
I need someone to hold me
Let me cry
Pet my hair
And remind me that I mean
Something

Tonight
I'm struggling
With the weight of the last three months
With the worst summer of my life
With the stress of every day
With the factips that you're not here
With the pain of what you
Did

Tonight
The pen is flying over the page
The words are coming out in their
Own
I am simply the vessel that puts ink on paper
Simply the mind that wishes for
Emptiness
Simply the soul who can't bear the weight of being
Alone

Tonight
No one had answered their phone
No friend has soothed the hell in my heart
No love has given me the time I deserve
No acquaintance to provide a decent distraction
No one had noticed me
And no one
Will

Tonight
I am struggling
But tomorrow is another
Day
