Time is running out
I don’t have enough
I’m fighting over deadlines
And other stupid stuff
My thoughts are a mess
I don’t know what to do
I’m having anxiety
That I can’t make it through
But I’m almost done
And I’m almost there
I have to pull myself together
Because I’m supposed to care
Yet I can’t live up to these standards
When I set them for myself
I just wish I lived an ordinary life
And wanted nothing else

They say to leave the past
at that
What once was a moment
that didn’t last
They say to move forward
and start a new chapter
But why does this fill me
with anxiety after
They say to run
that you must first crawl
But what if the wrong step
leads to my downfall
They say that this
will lead me astray
But how far can one get
when they run away

It wakes me up in a cold sweat
A dream I wish I could forget
A wound that I could never heal
A memory I’m not sure was real
It makes me fear falling asleep
It just keeps playing on repeat
I want to think it was a dream
But things aren’t always what they seem
A person who’s without a name
A dream that always ends the same
They say I am the one to blame
But I got lost inside the shame
