I told myself
I would not struggle
With this
Again

Feels like a covid booster, you wake up dying and they said it is for good

I am not okay and arm hurts. Pain killers ain’t helping

I told myself I won’t think about that thing

Got sick and tired of things I cannot change

Root cause is me overthinking. Got sick and tired of things I gotta change

Band-aids ain’t helping

I told myself
I would not struggle
With this
Again

Got sick and tired of things I still struggle

Suture ain’t helping

Root cause is me overreacting, remove that band-aid

I told myself
Again

With this
I would not change
