Am I

kidding myself by staying and letting the waves of stress and feeling overwhelmed crash into my day and night.

The feeling of being trapped in a box and no matter how much I scream for help no one comes.

It’s so overwhelming that I just can’ stop thinking is this pain and frustration worth it.

To feel like a robot day in and day out.

Repeating the same words and dealing with the same problem over and over again.

The answer is no and yet leaving seems so hard when it should be like a snap of my fingers and freedom will be there.

Yet here I stand as if I’m chained to this place!

A corner in which I have no control of and so when the storm hits I just have to brace myself and hope I survive another moment and day and week.
