Weary.

40 10 5
                                    

I can hold myself together during the day,

.....Barely

I can occupy myself with mindless tasks,

Or simply sleep to escape it all.

Tossing And Turning.

Then at night I start to unravel,

and my eyes leak,

and my insides spill out,

and pool into my lap.

I've been struggling

to keep my head above the water.

The water that has always been too shallow

to drown in.

Has finally become deep enough.
