I can feel it now
Creeping in
Like a bad feeling
An emptiness
Tempting to swallow me whole
Nothing good can happen
As it starts to take hold
Joy slipping away
So much doubt
And sadness
Where did it come from?
How did it slip in,
To a day that was once whole?
Play the music
Distract the mind
Trying to think of anything
To pass the time
Until I can get out
Until I can get away
Make it stop
Make it go away
Take a deep breath
And just breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe on repeat
