there's no more sheep left to count. 'Cause I've counted them away a million times before. It's never helped me much, and a self help book is just another pseudo comfort hope that can never be restored. after everything you loved and cared for turns around and leaves, you'll wonder what you're here for, and realize how selfish it is to be sad when you never had to be a part of the world, and honestly I've fallen again, but this winter won't leave me short handed. for i am a man, worthy is word, and optimism has never been so relatable.


The author's comments:
i wrote this going through a hard time in my life when sleep wasn't a commodity, and writing was the only thing that would help, but it was really false hope because it didn't last long. and then realizing it's kinda dumb, when you never had to be put on this earth. and the feeling i always get in the winter falling for a girl, but this year is better because i have grown as a person, and now have a better outlook.
