Word Vomit #1

Word Vomit #1

A Poem by Catherine Macatangay
"

i found this in my notes on my phone and it still feels relevant so lmao here it is

"

Every day is its own struggle.

The future seems too distant,

Overwhelming and a bit bleak

It’s murky, I’m not sure what to make of it yet 


I still don’t know how to cope with things

Healthily, at least 

I consume copious amounts of food,

Some days to fill the void,

And other days to sort of punish myself 


I'm very tired -- every day 

I can wake, be still, and bleed exhaustion


I don’t feel afraid 

Elation is foreign, too 

I’m just a body 

Plagued with consciousness 

And seemingly inescapable misery 


I know I sound dramatic

Which is why I’m hesitant to speak

But on behalf of my thoughts and I

We are scattered, fatigued, and weak
