Alexandra Hill Poet Dramatic Monologue

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
