Can't keep it to myself anymore

I can't reason my sadness today
I find it overwhelming
Diverting my attention
doesn't offer great help
I try hard to laugh
but I fear I might break down
Something in me is uneasy
Something keeps shattering

Hopes have repeatedly broken
Efforts have turned futile
the world's point of view
doesn't match mine
I might have run miles
but none in their eyes
Something in me fails everyday
Something feels broken

Backups are now priorities
Pointless things feel logical
I'd appreciate being left
alone for endless hours
but I fear losing everyone
I should be grateful for
Something in me is unsettling
Something feels lost
