Reality

Today was an "I can't get out of bed" day

when the tears come unbidden 

before my head leaves the pillow

and the only thought rolling around in my head

is that I wish my heart would just...STOP.

Stop hurting.

Stop loving.

Stop living.

Stop beating.

so it's a fitting punishment

for failing so greatly at the only job

you ever gave me -

I do not know what this is

but it isn't life

it isn't living

it isn't happy


Tomorrow will be the same

another day where I will wish with every fiber of my being

that none of this was real.

Yesterday alone in my car I screamed,

"I'm ready to leave the simulation now!"

"Please! Please, I'm done with this,

no more, it hurts too much, all it ever does is HURT!"

MAKE

IT

STOP


But this is reality. Of course it is. Of course. I know. 

The only reason I know it's real is because I can't wake up...
