Alone With My Thoughts
Exhausted, weary, and drained
I collapse on the couch
Finally, a second to breathe.
The musical is over,
Breathe in, breathe out.
AP tests taken,
Breathe in, breathe out.
School winding to a close,
Breathe in, breathe out.
I’ve been waiting for this day,
The day my hectic life would slow down,
The day I could spend time on myself.
But suddenly, as I experience free time,
I wonder if I’d rather be studying, or rehearsing.
For as I sit in my room, alone with my thoughts,
I wish I had something else to occupy my mind,
So I could shove my insecurities to the back of my mind,
Because, believe it or not, as depleted as I was before,
Nothing is more draining than anxiety,
For busy times will come and go,
But worries are always with you,
Always there behind the smiles, weighing you down.
