“Today is not the day,” I say 

I can’t do it. 

Years of silent tears but it’s getting worse

It hurts.

Hurts so much I can’t breathe.

Or eat.

But I’ll lie cause I’m fine.

I’m not fine but I’m trying

I promise.

Today is just not the day

Neither was yesterday.

And tomorrow might not be either.

I was going through a hard time when I wrote this. "Today is not the day" is something I'll tell my friends and family if I'm going through something and they have drama going on as well. I usually know my own mental health limits and most of the people close to me understand that. I usually get through rough patches just fine but this one's been going on for a month now.
