sometimes you feel so bad you can hardly tell
now that might mean you're not feeling all that bad
or it's the kind of badness that you can take your mind off
and this is one of those times
the past few days have been this
me in a weird empty soul-crushing pain
that I can almost ignore
as if there's no soul to crush
and in my skull there is a sea of tears
that will never break the dam
of my eyes
