The daylight fades too fast again It’s 5 p.m. and it’s already dark outside I sleep too much, wanna stay in bed Ignore every text I get The heat’s on but I still feel cold Same hoodie hanging by the door Haven’t worn it out in weeks The days blur together Mom keeps asking if I’m okay I text back “I’m okay” and a heart emoji The sink is full, my hair’s a mess Every little thing feels like a test Another night comes way too fast Binging true crime all night long Trying not to think too much I don’t want to spiral again The darkness pulls me under again Every day feels the same Makes me wanna be alone I shut out everyone around me I let another day pass by I don’t wanna talk to anyone I don’t wanna go anywhere I just wait for night to come Night to come… Night to come… The air starts feeling warm again The birds sing a different song The trees are turning green And it stays light after five The sun shines in between the blinds My cat lies on the floor in the patch of sunlight The sky has turned from gray to blue The purple tulips have started to bloom Some days it’s still hard to get through the day Some days I still don’t want to get out of bed But when it’s not dark and gray, it’s a little easier The darkness pulls me under again Every day feels the same Makes me wanna be alone I shut out everyone around me Another day passes by The days are getting longer The sunlight shines a little brighter Spring starts waking up the blooms I drive with the windows down The music playing loud I feel the wind blow through my hair Nowhere to be, and that’s okay I took a walk through the park Saw a mama goose and her babies They were so cute It made me smile, Spring is finally here The darkness almost took me under Made me shut out the world around me Now the nights don’t come so fast And I’m trying to feel okay again The world has color again The evenings don’t feel so short And I finally feel alive again Alive again… Alive again…
