Drowning in Silence

 That moment when everything seems to be going okay, something good is finally happening, and then, out of nowhere, bad news hits like a wave. You feel yourself slipping, sinking into that familiar place where the world just feels hollow and pointless. It’s like a descent you can’t stop, and the thought crosses your mind. Maybe this is it, maybe I’m falling into that dark pit again, maybe this is depression. And the worst part? No one’s there. You look around, but it’s like you're screaming into the void, and no one hears, no one cares. So maybe the only option is to go out, distract yourself with things—anything—to numb it all. But deep down, you know that even trying to do that feels empty too. I guess I'll give it a shot, but honestly, I don't know. There’s nothing else left.
