there are kids outside playing ball and laughing
i can hear all the fun they are having
i could keep being bitter, i could shut them out
or i could open the window wider and try to feel good myself
i’m tired and i’m sick and i’m sad
i wanna say it’s better but it’s getting pretty bad
i could ignore everyone, i could curl into myself
or i could stop being proud and admit that i need help
i’m making to-do lists inside my mind
and never allotting myself enough time
i could keep growing angry and steadily overwhelmed
or i could take things step by step and stop being hard on myself
