The Questions in My Mind.
An Untitled Poem.

Why does stress feel so loud?
Why does it destroy me from the inside out?
Why does it feel like my body suffers in silence but screams in agony?
Why do I have to constantly make friends with my depression?
Why do the voices in my head talk to me more than people?
Is this my life inside the matrix?
Can I ever get outside of my head so that I can live?
Is this life worth living if there is only pain?
Do you ever just get tired of fighting your demons?
Is that what they mean by doing your shadow work?
Why is it so hard to trust?
