Apathy as a Defense

 

So close that I can almost cry,

But with broken wings, I just can’t fly.

To lethargic to even feel apathetic,

though I know that this should feel pathetic,

I can’t break the cycle, all I can do is wait,

too much self-hatred to even blame fate.

Have to hold on, until life starts again,

must to find the energy to defend,

against self-defeating thoughts and fear,

got to believe in the cycle and that mania is near.

Must force myself to pretend that this isn’t pathetic,

have to believe in the protection of being apathetic.
