Stay strong, I tell myself
Like a silent prayer to my body
I don't need it, the nausea will fade
Oh but the sense of longing won't
The excess water in my mouth reminds me
I must make the choice
Resist the urge
Put my phone back down, walk away
Focus on what is in front of you, I repeat
Who is around you, who choose to be there
For you
Why do I feel so alone
I have friends that want to see me
But I ignore their texts and calls
My phone is a rabbit hole I try to avoid
Somehow that turns into people too
I feel weak
The weight of my body won't let me stand
I take my showers sitting in the bathtub
Dimly lit by early morning sun
The invisible band around my temple
Is the most unwanted company
That holds me tightly
Will I miss this too?
