i’m not okay

I stress about the times I have failed
Agonizing about what I can’t change
Melting into mush as solid as my self-worth
No, I don’t regret it
Overall it was liberating
Tonight I might finally get to sleep soundly
Obtrusive thoughts won’t cloud my nightmares
Knives in my back can finally be removed
At least I was happy for a moment
You’re proud of me now, right?

Sounds to me like you are depressed greatly about something. It sounds like this has been eating at you from the inside out. I know that for a long time depression had me in a strangle hold and I didn't even know it was an issue. My prayer for you is peace, true inner peace.
