Burnout

Everything being cancelled
And I'm pretending to be fine?
What a fool am I?

They say
Ignorance is bliss
But I try to
Block out the news 
And all that comes
Are doubts
And worries
And stress
And tears
And I don't know
If I can take
Much more
But somehow
Hearing it
Is almost worse.

The darkness seems
To flood out the light
Until I can barely see
The hands in front of me.

They say to
Just smile
And everything
Will be brighter.
But when I try,
My heart breaks a bit more,
Knowing that smile
Couldn't be more fake.

I try to be
A beacon of light,
Of hope,
Of joy,
But honestly?
That bulb

Is burning out.
