You stare at the ceiling while you lie in your bed
The room is filthy
You have done nothing all day and yet you feel drained
You have felt this way for a long time
It’s normal
When you finally start to clean up the mess in your room
Realization hits and you remember how long you’ve been living this way
There’s no escape from it
You want to feel better
You want to be better
But you’re not even trying anymore
There is no point
You’re never getting out of here
