It's been a long time since I've seen the early morning.

Almost forgot how awful it is,

Being alone with the thoughts in your head.

Clawing, biting, forcing their way through.

I'm so defeated from the day,

But I can't shut them out by closing my eyes,

I can't hold them back.

"They don't like you."

"She'll find someone smarter and prettier."

"They only talk to you out of pity."

"You can't do anything good or right."

I forgot how powerful they were.

I already cracked, the first tear slipped out.

It won't stop, my tears are flowing now.

The thoughts drinking them up,

Using the salty water as encouragement.

Breaking me down until I'm sobbing, rocking myself to sleep, begging for it to stop.
