I’m Sorry …

I didn't call you back.

I was buried under a pile of blankets
Counting my breaths
Attempting to drown out all the noise
Trying to slow down my racing thoughts
Praying to hold on
Fighting the darkness
Willing myself to get up
Practicing positive self-talk
Bargaining with the universe 
Begging the pain to just
Stop.

I'm sorry I didn't call you back.
