I need some time to clear my mind.

Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say "My tooth is aching" than to say "My heart is broken."

— C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain.

Man könnte nie wissen, wie es sich anfühlt, mich zu sein.

Scorching heat against the chilly breeze;

it was a war between the two opponents.

Fleecy clouds briskly lined the arena,

blocking the gloomy sky from the spectacle.

Tiny high-pitched whistles could be heard.

It seemed like one side had the upper hand.

What happened in the end was an unknown

only to be determined when it's pitch black

where the winner would not be seen

but it could be felt.

Blink.

Blink.

Blink.

Think.

Mistakes are not accidental.

Jeder Tag ist erfüllt von diesem depressiven Gefühl, das ich nicht loswerden kann.

Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich jeden Tag kleiner werde und ich habe vergessen, wie es sich anfühlt, wieder wie ich zu sein.

We both know it's a problem

when you call me all the time

and I'll say

I may just need a little longer

I may just need you to be stronger

if I'm not there with you.
