Setbacks

I thought I was getting better, Soothing sunlight on my face, Ate healthy, and smiled a lot, But shadows crept in, took their place. I thought I was getting better, But silence screams in my ears, Why does my chest feel tight? Like a heavy stone weighing me down, suffocating my tears. I thought I was getting better, So, where's this emptiness from? Why does this darkness feel so familiar, Like an old friend who never left, lingering in every room? I thought I was getting better.
