It isn't exactly easy for you either, 😳
I'm not just messing around here; it's a full-on, Gestapo-style Stalinist hold. 😁

And how exactly did you link that to the SurveyMonkey? 😁
I’m standing at the edge of a lake made of pure despair and grief It’s dark—you can't even see the bottom The surface looks smooth enough Until those waves of fear start breaking against me Lapping at my bare feet So, I suppose I'll strip away the barriers, the fences, and the boundaries Taking off my defenses one by one, like old clothes Until there’s nothing left but being raw and exposed I’m stepping into that cold, murky water Sinking into the hopelessness, just letting the grief take over It wraps around me, fills me up, overwhelms everything I am drowning Surrendering to the cold and the dark To the fear that's currently churning through my mind Because, eventually, I’ll be born again Rising up like some kind of phoenix Unstained by the despair, untouched by the sorrow Just wrapped in a little hope And then, I'll step back into the fight
Staying at rock bottom Giving in to the grief and the rage Letting the silence just ring in your ears Or Trying to soar on wings made of hope Using optimism to spit in the face of every statistic Laughing at the void With a smile that actually hurts? I suppose I fear the bottom—that darkness that swallows everything whole Just as much as the peak Because falling doesn't hurt nearly as much When you're already down there...
One, two—and now there’s a third one coming Drop by drop My throat is tightening I'm afraid The dam is going to break I'll be swallowed by the vortex Sinking all the way to the bottom If I don't stop them right now Everything will spiral out of control And I don't know if I'm ready For the total collapse of the system
