Lessons in Infinity and Perspective

One routine
Two cups of coffee
Three choices
Run, fight, freeze
Four walls
That never change
Five workdays
But they feel all the same

There's nowhere to run
And I've become so numb
My wheels are spinning
Looped monotony

There's no such thing
As a weekend
But then I remember
What you said

Look up to the stars
If you can
Even when it's dark
They're still there
Count them one by one
If you can
And when you lose count
Start again

One self-condemning heart
Too many mistakes
Tripled with anxiety
Waiting for the day
That I know will come
This I know for sure
The only stable thing
In an unstable world

Thoughts in my mind
Sometimes they catch fire
I'm tired
They're all consuming

I'm trapped inside
My house and my head
But then I remember
What you said

Look up to the stars
If you can
Even when it's dark
They're still there
Count them one by one
If you can
And when you lose count
Start again

What does forever feel like
Because that's how long I'll need
To count them all in the sky
I'm built for eternity
But I keep losing count
And losing time
Ambiguity breeds
Uncertainty in me
I'm sorry when I lose sight

Teach me please
What is infinity
This epoch
Is in perpetuity

What I'd give for
The isolation's end
But then I remember
What you said

Look up to the stars
If you can
Even when it's dark
They're still there
Count them one by one
If you can
And when you lose count
Start again
