Juxtaposition

 I  am tired.  

 I cannot sleep because I am too awake with dread.

I  am hungry . 

I  am controlled by cravings that are not real hunger but attempts at filling a void.

I  am not happy. 

 I know things could be a million times worse.

I  wake up every day hoping something monumental will occur. It never does.

I  wake up every day hoping something monumental does not occur . It doesn't.

I  look at myself with disdain.

I  look at myself and think I'm not too bad.

I  ask a greater power every night to remove the black thoughts from my mind.

I  ask a greater power every night to send me a sign I  should keep going.

Neither is answered.

I remain somewhere in between.
