Just

trying to get through the day even though

I don’t know if tomorrow will be better for me.

I know what I am capable of doing if I just give a damn

about what is to become of me.

And some days it’s easier to care and some days it’s easier to forget about

all that I have overcome.

Because the darkness is winning today and no matter how much I try to shake it off of me it clings so hard I feel like I might faint and just let it take over.

For the battle has wore me down and the light shines on me but I don’t want to get up and deal with the crap others keep dumping on me.

I am not your trash can or your robot and I be damned if I am your go to girl for I am just  not getting back up to do your work for I have fallen and I like looking up at everything and I have no desire to get up today.
