Tight threshold grip 

Makes it hard to breath

Gasping for air

Anxious all the time  

I might not live like this but I know what it’s like

I’ve seen people experience this

They say

Why do I have to live like this

I want to be ok

I want it to go away 

I don't want to feel the pain anymore

Some make it better while some make it worse

Worrying about others problems

Instead of my own

Over thinking constantly 

Depression

Anxiety

Adhd

Climate Change

Poverty

Hunger

Water Contamination

Suicide

All big problems that aren't talked about enough 

Everyone has problems

I understand that, it's not just me

Being tired of life but you don't want to die

You just want to sleep it off

No matter how long you sleep its not gone

I want to be ok

Like a ship at sea with holes in the bottom

Holes in the sails, no straight direction to go into

Sinking slowly till you break in half

A boat with others aboard

Affecting others around you drastically

I want to be ok

We all want to be ok

People come and go eventually

Like boosters on a rocket

If they leave its not because they are bad 

Its because they cant go where you're going

They cant stand the altitudes you're at; so they leave

Dont cry because theyre gone, smile because it happened

Some people are only meant to come around for a season

Be glad you have things that are so hard to say goodbye to

You think your friends are only by your side because they're bored

Wishing you had a different life

But you don't 

Why? Why me 

Why can't I be normal 

I want to be ok

Why do I have to feel the unneeded pain

Being depressed even though I have nothing to be sad about 

Being stressed even though I have nothing to be stressed about

Being hungry even though I just ate and I don't need to be 

Society has put a strain on us, to make us believe things

I need to lose weight 

I need to get stronger

I need to be the biggest

I need to look like a model 

I need to be skinny to be loved

No you don't

Don't let them get to you

Don't let them tell you things that are lies

You're tired, I know,

So am I 

You only get one life 

Make the most of it

Even in the hard times

Find the light 

And don't let the darkness cover
