The sunlight wakes me in the morning
and all I feel is a heavy weight on my heart,
the problems of my world
are resting solely on my shoulders,
and I can hear the warnings sounding loud.
Alarm bells that I can do nothing about,
I don’t have the energy to care anymore.
I wish I could feel something,
other than the nothingness inside,
wanting to feel at home in my own skin.

Yeah.. i hate that feeling when you wake up and the whole crashes down around you. Been there many times. You expressed it perfectly.

ooo
This poem brought out more than just a state of mind. It brought out low self-esteem indirectly which was intriguing to read along the way. Good luck

Such an apathy in your words, great take on your prompt.
