"I am a fraud"

"I talk too loud"

"I am a mess"

"Inside the crowd"

"I am too slow"

"I always fail"

"I lost the grip"

"I left the trail"

"I push too hard"

"I care too much"

"I ruin things"

"With just a touch"

Look at your hands

Look at your feet

You are alive

You feel the beat

Drop the disguise

Stop the charade

You do not need

To be afraid

You can completely drop the heavy armor that is crushing your chest and just breathe in the quiet room

You do not have to smile for the people who never even bother to ask how you actually feel

I promise that every mistake that you made is just beautiful proof that you are a living human

So close your tired eyes and let the silence wash away the endless pressure of the day

"I have to text"

"I have to call"

"I push it down"

"I take it all"

"I cannot sleep"

"I cannot rest"

"I have to pass"

"Another test"

"I hide the pain"

"I fake a grin"

"I play a game"

"I never win"

Look at your hands

Look at your feet

You are alive

You feel the beat

Drop the disguise

Stop the charade

You do not need

To be afraid

You can completely drop the heavy armor that is crushing your chest and just breathe in the quiet room

You do not have to smile for the people who never even bother to ask how you actually feel

I promise that every mistake that you made is just beautiful proof that you are a living human

So close your tired eyes and let the silence wash away the endless pressure of the day

The world is vast

The clock will spin

You do not have

To always win

You are just flesh

You are just bone

You do not have

To stand alone

Just let it crack

Just let it break

For your own good

For your own sake

"I need a break"

"I will just stop"

"I do not need"

"To reach the top"

"The noise is gone"

"The air is clear"

"I am okay"

"Right now and here"

Look at your hands

Look at your feet

You are alive

You feel the beat

You can completely drop the heavy armor that is crushing your chest and just breathe in the quiet room

You do not have to smile for the people who never even bother to ask how you actually feel

I promise that every mistake that you made is just beautiful proof that you are a living human

So close your tired eyes and let the silence wash away the endless pressure of the day

You do not owe a single drop of blood to a machine that will never ever say thank you

You are allowed to just lay on the floor and let the heavy tears fall out of your eyes

I am so incredibly proud of the fact that you managed to simply survive until tonight

So let the absolute silence hold your body tight and drift into a deep and healing sleep

The screen is dark

The mind is still

You climbed the top

Of that tall hill

You did enough

You are enough

Goodnight
