Is anyone else in a weird state of mind right now ? Like everything is fine but everything’s not fine

Another week of crawling through the day

I suppose I still have some hope left, it’s not east to push yourself and ignore what’s you’re feeling. It’s not easy to smile and say that everything is ok when in fact everything is falling apart.

Sometimes you just have to push those feelings down in a glass bottle that buried deep in your soul and forget about them

But let them out slowly

Because the glass bottle can crack or shatter or over flow with these feelings

And it can take a toll on you

Everybody Knows

You could never feel my story

without giving me hell.

And you might not believe me

so I'm never gonna tell.

You've been there you've done that

so you know it doesn't last.

You don't care what's coming for you,

you're still stuck in the past.

You know happiness lasts,

like a train leaving track.

You'd never wanna fall

so you'd rather step back.

The fall is a wasteland

whose bottom is filled with grief.

You're hung up on the walls

of your own disbelief.

And the halls are empty

in your griefs disguise.

The echoes of your sorrow

don't bother any eyes.

So you dance fiercly on carpets

of the things you did wrong.

And sing this world a lullaby

you call your final song.

For when you stood by the corner

or hid under the bed.

For when you won't carry your miserable,

you'd rather play dead.

Now you take out your pencils

and set the books on fire.

And burn all their bookshelves

and fulfill your desire.

For knowledge is volatile,

it slips if not taken.

And not to be ignored

and never to be forsaken

when everyone stopped wearing lockets that was when it all went downhill. nobody even carries pictures of their beloveds cut into the shape of a heart anymore

I’m ok...I guess

How’re ye?

Also I got a hug from this Texan lady and dang never in my Irish life have I thought it would happen 🥲
