i just want to be rid of this fog in my head and i can't think straight, i'll just go back to bed and nothing seems to help clear this fog from my mind i guess i should just hope it gets better with time and it shouldn't be so difficult to just think but my mind's like a pen that just ran out of ink and i don't need to get rid of this fog in my head and now that i've calmed down i might go back to bed

open my eyes, it's still dark out, what time is it ? can't go back to sleep now. next thing i know, i step outside. i'll walk around, and watch the sun rise. i feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, it's on the horizon, the fog starts to thin, excited that the day is soon to begin, my head's full of thoughts, and it's starting to spin. right by the side of the road, the clouds almost seem to glow. i feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, it's on the horizon, the fog starts to thin, excited that the day is soon to begin, my head fills with thoughts, and i can't keep them in. i feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, it's on the horizon, the fog starts to thin, excited that the day is soon to begin, my head's full of thoughts, and i can't keep them in.

my mind's a book that i can't read my memories are fading as i speak i'm sorry it seems like i'm lying but the truth is i don't remember i barely remember my own name or even what day of the week it is now it's not my fault please don't blame me i wish that i could fix my memory it's not my fault (it's not your fault) please don't blame me (i'll be okay) i wish that i (it's fine i can't) could fix my memory (fix my memory)

i lay flowers spilling out of my veins a new day something's changed one minute the flowers bloom the next they fade it all moves so quickly now one day i'll be gone in the blink of an eye years go by it's all so fast feels like my mind's crumbling not built to last not everything needs to last that's how things are and if time is passing quickly that's not so bad don't need to destroy myself it doesn't help even when things seem bad i'll be alright
6.
i go outside in the cold and suddenly all that i can hear is noise i'm surrounded by my voice i can't think through all this noise feel like i'm flickering i lay down shivering my thoughts aren't inside my head they're surrounding me instead finally the noise has stopped and suddenly i hear a song i haven't heard in years
7.
as i laid in bed dark boxes flickered before my eyes i remembered you and all that started to fade from sight it was hard to find any point to this life of mine and then you showed up and everything started to seem so bright and you changed my life and now i find joy in most everything you made me realize that there's so much fun to be had in life you changed my life and now i find joy in most everything you made me realize that there's so much fun to be had in life

can i really say i'm better? have i actually recovered? i don't know. but i hope. i feel like i don't deserve to feel like i can be alright it just feels as though i should be suffering some more monday, tuesday, nothing happens hey, things could be worse wednesday, thursday, just as empty i guess that's not bad finally, on friday, a lightbulb, a new idea i feel more creative than i ever have before it's not as hard as it seemed with my brain bursting at the seams it still does stuff like that sometimes but it's getting better with time
