How Can It Be

How can it be That you can feel so empty And yet so full of emotions At the same time How can it be That every option seems a bad one Nothing in the world seems right I want to fix everything And yet I have no motivation How can it be That it is so hard To get excited about anything anymore How can it be That I want to stop existing Yet I do not want to die How can it be That no matter how hard you try You will feel pain How can it be That no matter how hard you push Your feelings push harder

As you are discovering, life is a steep Hill to climb, but your view at the end of your journey will be worth it! Great capture and report of your emotions. Well done! Aloha! Rico

Yes Alexandra our emotions do get us in a spin but at least we can use them to inspire ourselves and other’s as you have so aptly done here.
