Humpty Dumpty

i'm Humpty Dumpty

i've had a great fall

and you know what else?

i don't care at all

i've teetered and tottered

and wobbled all day

and now i'm down here

and it's better this way

send all the king's horses

and all the king's men

but i simply refuse

to be whole again

I have ridiculous-bad anxiety sometimes, and this was written before I knew what it was, and long before I was medicated for it. I would have certain expectations for myself, and then I'd never measure up, and I hated when people tried to cheer me up or help me.

I even had days where my stress levels were so high that my emotions just shut off. This was one of those days.
