I went back to bed
Three times today
To try to dream
This pain away
But it didn’t work
And now I’m awake
Do I have any choice
But my life to take?
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I went back to bed
Three times today
To try to dream
This pain away
But it didn’t work
And now I’m awake

But my life to take?
If you went back three times
You must have got up three times
Try a fourth!

Yesβ the other choice was writing this and making a positive difference for people π. Even if you now go back to sleep, you’ve left your mark! π
I liked reading this todayβ it felt relevant to me, but indirectly, by substituting depression with OCD/dissociation. I actually woke up in a good mood and haven’t had the usual obsessions, whereas the last few days I’ve ended up sleeping a lot after waking up and getting straight into obsessions. But today I’ve felt kind of lostβ I’m not used to having choices over how to use my time π€¦ββοΈ. And yet I found an anchor in turning those feelings into a creation here. In at least relating to people :). π

I have this big problem with proof-reading stuff I’ve just writtenβ whether it’s poems or comments. I can stick around for ages just trying to make sure I’ve proof-read it in a satisfactory way. Depriving me of the satisfaction it was initially giving me. It’s a total Just Right OCD thing. I just remembered it’s not worth it π. fdsjoifjdsoi fjio2j2oj sif0ds fidosjfdois
