The Phone

The phone doesn’t ring. The texts don’t ping

Alone in. MY thoughts alone in my mind. I never know what I’m going to find

I think I’m depressed but maybe it’s just me  I think I’m stuck but maybe I’m free 

I’m not sure if the feelings are mine or the feeling of others 
The feeling of life  or the life that smothers 

I lay in bed thinking I’m tired, but never asleep 
Sometimes I’m sad but never weep

I can’t understand the feelings that fill me up 
I want to experience a full cup. 

Truth is, I don’t know how to feel right anymore 
Sometimes it’s easy just to want to walk out the door

I’m not suicidal or even wanting things to end
Sometimes I want my life to be a little different or to transcend
