Struggle
Guilt and shame over the emptiness I feel
Not wanting to share with loved ones
Always feeling like an outsider
But still I try my best to push on
Some days I’m fine, some days I cry
Usually, I’m somewhere between
A gray area that can’t be explained
Falling deeper, but never hitting the bottom
The weather outside matches me
Stormy and gray, pouring rain, maybe it’s sympathy
My internalized feelings are ready to spill, too
The tears are reaching a critical mass
Threatening to spill if one more thought crosses my mind
This is the struggle I regularly face
