some days
you survive from one breath to the next
some days
your stomach only hurts from laughing so hard
some days
some days
some days
some days
you find out one of your friends is in the hospital
they tried to overdose
again
some days
you find out that your grandma is dying
and even though you knew this months ago,
her not being able to get dressed
makes it real
some days
your sister sobs in your car
hyperventilating
panic
while you pray to whatever gods you stopped believing in
that she’ll be okay
some days
you get the job you applied for
you put your two weeks in for the job you hate
move on
some days
you only get four hours of sleep
after writing poems in the dark until 1 am
hoping the words will stop the thoughts
some days
this all happens in twenty-four hours
while it feels like twenty-four years
shocks you when there aren’t any gray hairs
there are no days
where you get to breathe
you never get the choice to stop it all
the world will not wait for you
it will only watch you drown
*snaps intensely*
