it creeps in
into the unhealed cracks
of my soul
and it infiltrates every fiber of my being
when i’m alone
when i’m in the car
driving myself home
when i’m doing homework at 12 am
when it is just me, myself, and i
i suddenly feel hopeless
exiled from my own mind
i try to take control
but it does not work
my smile fades
as the sad song plays
it simply adds insult to injury
