Day by Day
I'm stabbing myself
With a sharpened knife
Made by my untold words.

My heart feels so heavy
Like never before
Cause I always felt light
But not today.

Restrained emotions kept within are
Now tearing my skin off.
Getting a burning sensation within
Cause I'm not yet responding
To any of these signs.

Unable to choose
Between react and respond.
Insisting myself to run the same circle,
Without realising that I'm exhausted.

How much more do I have to do this?
Should I embrace all my courage
To fight against this injustice that
I'm doing to myself?
Or should I just move on
Without reacting
Telling myself "this is just another way to discipline myself "?

I don't know... 😩
