Is there something wrong with you?

You're alive right?
You can't ignore me
Snooze

This has gone on long enough
You know you have to wake up
What is this going to accomplish?
Wake up

He's still calling
It shouldn't annoy you
You should wake up
You don't need this much sleep
Are you even asleep?
No
Snooze

Thinking
Counting
Wondering
Hurting

Are you awake?
Are you okay?
Answer his texts
Tell your mom you're okay
Do your homework
Clean your room
Why did you sleep so late?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Now you won't sleep tonight
You're not depressed
You're lazy
This is why i stay in bed
