Today…

My patience is thin.
My tolerance is low.
My anxiety is high. Severely high.


And ordinary, everyday life…
I can’t seem to manage any of it.

Maybe it’s just a Monday thing—
Though I’ve felt this way all weekend too.


I feel like I’m failing.
At everything.


I am vulnerable.
Withdrawn.
Overthinking everything.


My brain won’t quiet.
It whispers—no, it shouts—
“You’re not enough.
You’re failing.
Get it together.”


I am alone.
Alone in the noise of my own mind.
Alone in the heaviness.
Alone in the gaps.



I don’t need a silver lining.
I don’t need lessons or growth.
I just need to name it:


I am overwhelmed.
I am anxious.
I am exhausted.


And today…
just surviving
might be enough.
