A word I needed
I’ve seen it…in the ᵖᵒᵉᵐˢ in the ₛₐₙ𝒹ₛ
I’ve pleaded…with the ᵖᵒʷᵉʳˢ and their ₚₗₐₙₛ
I tried to…re-WRITE it but I can’t…

she stays ᵘᵖ…he’s sleeping like a ₗₐₘᵦ
she BEGS ʰᶦᵐ…he says he DOESN’t ᵤₙ𝒹ₑᵣstand

(through gritted teeth) sometimes what's good for your mental health isn't another do nothing day or a little treat sometimes what's good for you is putting in some of the work. Not all of it at once but sometimes you have to finish that essay or at least take the next step or you have to clean your room or at least dust the shelves or you gotta do the laundry or at least put it all in the hamper and it's not fun and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks but you have to because i read a post on the internet that told me that's what being nice to yourself is sometimes
