Free Verse Poetry? (Music on my mind: "My name is blurryface and I care what you think..." - Twenty One Pilots)

"Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days..."

----

I'm stuck in a rut.

8+ hours a day, sitting on my butt.

Staring blankly at the computer screen.

Not getting anywhere.

Wondering where the time goes.

----

I've got plans.

Big dreams to follow.

Debts to pay.

Pressure on my back.

Art on my mind.

----

I'm hiding in my room.

Trapped in my house.

Stuck in my mind.

Bound by expectations.

But these barriers don't protect me.

----

Isolation.

Depression leads to self-inflicted pain.

Darkness overwhelms the heart,

And try as you might to hold it in,

It spreads to hurt others around you.

----

I'm stressed out.

I need to get out of this moment.

The past is the past.

The struggle is the present.

Tomorrow is the future.

----

Just one day.

What difference can I make.

What can I do to make tomorrow better.

Better for me.

Better for others.

----

Happiness used to be easy.

Art.

Music.

Playing on the swings.

Reading books.

----

Take inspiration from the good old days.

Reconnect with what matters.

Find what you love.

Before you were broken.

Before you were afraid.

----

Before I cared about what people thought,

The only things I worried about were the sticks and stones.

Now I'm lost.

It's time to rekindle the flames.

And prove that our spirits are strong.
