I don’t remember when it started Nothing broke Nothing crashed It just… kept happening ⸻ 𝓓ark days drift downward and don’t demand attention, Doing the same damn dance with disciplined deception. I drag myself daily, dependable, dressed, Doubting decisions but deeming them best. 𝓔very effort ends empty and erased, Energy evaporates, excitement displaced. Evenings extend with exhausted expressions, Existing inside expectations, not intentions. 𝓟ressure keeps piling, persistent and polite, Private pain hidden behind practiced “I’m fine.” Purpose pauses while I push through the pace, Pretending positivity keeps everything in place. CHORUS 𝓢till standing, somehow staying 𝓤nder weight nobody sees 𝓘 keep breathing, keep believing 𝓒arrying this quietly 𝓘 don’t say it out loud 𝓓ays just keep repeating 𝓔verything feels heavier now ⸻ 𝓡epetitive routines repeat without reason, Responses rehearsed through reflective seasons. Regret resurfaces, rest remains rare, Resilience reduces but I’m still right there. 𝓔mpty evenings echo inside every room, Emotional effort evaporates too soon. Empathy exhausts me, engagement ends early, Existing because it’s expected, not worthy. 𝓢ilent spaces stretch and start sounding sincere, Self-scrutiny sharpens, sadness feels clear. Social separation seems suddenly smart, Stability slipping but still playing my part. CHORUS 𝓢till standing, somehow staying 𝓤nder weight nobody sees 𝓘 keep breathing, keep believing 𝓒arrying this quietly 𝓘 don’t say it out loud 𝓓ays just keep repeating 𝓔verything feels heavier now ⸻ 𝓢uffocating stress settles straight in my chest, Self-worth shrinking silently, support feels less. Sincerity sounds staged, suspicion stays near, Survival shifts meaning — just managing here. 𝓘solation increases, I internalize everything, Ideas intensify, identity questioning. Interest in interaction implodes in my head, Indifference imitates armor instead. 𝓞ptions obscure while outcomes feel closed, Optimism oscillates, obligations impose. Orientation toward tomorrow feels off, Outlooks overwhelmed, I quietly withdraw. CHORUS 𝓢till standing 𝓤nder weight 𝓘 keep breathing 𝓒arrying this 𝓘 don’t say it 𝓓ays repeat 𝓔verything’s heavy ⸻ 𝓝umbness normalizes, needs go unfed, Narratives narrow inside of my head. Nothingness negotiates neutral ground, Nerves no longer notify what I’ve found. ⸻ CHORUS 𝓢till… 𝓤nder… 𝓘 breathing… 𝓒arrying… 𝓘 don’t say it… 𝓓ays… 𝓔verything…
