Keep On Keeping On

One of Those Nights

Tonight is one of those nights.

You know what I'm talking about.

You close the door behind you and numbingly lock it shut.

You stare at your hands for long minutes before you finally break.

You gasp for breath, silently sobbing about everything that went wrong all at once.

Everything that you just can't deal with.

Then you deal with it the only way you know how.

You take deep, exhausted, suffering breaths as you quietly cut yourself to sleep.

The next morning you wake up huddled in a corner of your bed with a sore neck and a pounding headache.

So you get out of bed like any other morning.
