What else is there?

What more can I do?
What more can I say?
Why am I not enough
I am tired
I am so tired
This feeling is choking me
Holding me down with both hands on my throat
Even as I write this, I am gasping for air
I thought if I write my feelings out i would feel better
but the reality is making things worse
The shadow of doubt looming over me yearning and waiting for me to give up
I am tired
I am so tired
I don't want to be bitter
I don't want hatred in my heart
what more can I do?
what more can I say to convince myself that this is temporary
it all feels like lies
Lies that are becoming truths
Lies are becoming reality
I didn't ask for any of this
What else is there?

Each heartbeat ushers a new dawn, staid stillness in which we are reborn. Flow with ease, like the fresh morning breeze, in mood and mode embrace and release.
