~No more~

No more, 

You do this or you don't 

No more.

It's time to learn to draw the line 

No more pushing yourself until you break 

No more

Crazy afternoons spent 

Searching for something 

That would always evade me 

No more 

Trying to hard 

You can't even focus 

You're just a slowly unraveling mess 

No more 

Trying to achieve perfection, 

You won't

More 

Enjoying life 

More 

Meaning 

Unless I have it all wrong 

My worldview's skewing sideways 

I don't know 

But when happiness is trying to hide 

And the world takes a turn for the worse 

You learn 

More things about yourself 

And you try 

In whatever way you can 

To control 

Maybe 

Like I did, 

Hiding, hiding, 

Hiding 

Inside anxious mindsets

And empty rooms 

And scary thoughts 

You retreat, 

You wait 

You try 

To find a spark 

And when that spark fades

You know 

You will be no more

Unless 

You can find the strength to withstand 

Another storm
