One Hundred & Ninety Seven.

"Do you ever just get that feeling

where you don’t want to talk to anybody?

You don’t want to smile &

you don’t want to fake being happy

but at the same time you don’t know exactly what’s wrong either,

there isn’t a way to explain it to someone

who doesn’t already understand.

If you could want anything in the world

it would be to be alone,

people have stopped being comforting,

& being alone never was.

At least when you’re alone

no one constantly asks you what’s wrong

& there isn’t anyone who won’t take

“I don’t know” for an answer.

You feel the way you do just because,

you hope the feeling will pass soon

& that you will be able to be yourself again,

but until then all you can do is wait."
