Some angst...? and original poetry????? Sorry in advance.

Another day another mistake
Anxious
Paranoid
Stressed
Some could even say that I am depressed.
I'll tell you I'm fine.
But you can see through my lies.
I can't cry,
I can't feel pain.
All I do is sit there desensitized.
I just want to apologize for being a waste of space.
Say what you want.
It won't change my mind.
And I can't hide.
Ears ringing and my head spinning.
Don't worry I'm just sleep deprived.
I swear That I'm just fine.
You say that you can hear it,
And that you can see it.
But I will still tell you that I am fine.
I SWEAR I AM JUST FINE.

I laid upon my bed, my mind loudly revisiting all my past mistakes. I was physically exhausted, but my mind refused to rest. This isn't new, it's every night. I wanted to work on a new contraption, but I couldn't find the energy or motivation to do that.

I remembered how because I didn't get in to trouble at school and how I always got good grades, causing my parents to not worry about me, more pretend I didn't exist. Crying myself to sleep about how I was never able to easily make friends. The things I were called followed me. Freak. Weirdo. A monstrosity to mankind. Outcast.

I looked over at the "actual sun and moon" it showed it was close to sunrise. Just my luck up, all night again. Nothing new.

POV SWITCH WHOOOOOOOO HAVENT DONE THIS IN A WHILE :)
3rd person POV tango 🎉

The sun was peaking through the window, landing in Tangos eyes. Deciding it would be best to not fight it, much to his annoyance, decided to awaken with the new day. Continuing with his daily habits of checking that his redstone farms were working as intended, making sure there were no loose golems, and working on whatever project he has going on currently. It was maybe 11 am by the time he got a break, which was fine he enjoyed it. He decided to stop by Zed.

He walked into the cave expecting to see the lively scientist working on a contraption. Instead he saw Zed laying upon his bed, awake, emotionless, and with heavy bags under his eyes.

"Zed? Are you ok?" He questioned concerned about his friend.
Zed hesitantly answered Tango.
"....yes"

"Zed. Have you been sleeping?"

"....yesssss?"

"Liar. You have bags under your eyes that would be able to carry a shulker of iron blocks. I will ask again, did you sleep?"

"no"

"Insomnia and anxiety again?"

"yeahhhhh...."

"Would you like me to make you some tea? It could help you relax a little bit more?"

"I'm fine you don't have to. Thanks for the offer though."

"It's not fine though, I just want to help my best friend. And you by the guess of it haven't slept in a least a few days. I'm concerned about you Zeddie, because I care about you. If you can't sleep and need someone to talk or you just don't want to be alone, my door is always open. No matter the time of day."

"I wouldn't want to bother you."

"You wouldn't be bothering me. None of my projects are more in important than my friends. Projects can wait. Friends can not. Please don't think you are bothering anyone when you need help. Friends help each other."

"Tango this may sound strange but could I possibly get a hug? Please? I feel like it's been ages since I've last had a hug, and ju-"

"You really need to stop over explaining things, you need a hug, you will receive a hug, you don't need a multi paragraph essay explaining why you would like or need a hug. All you have to say is, I think I need a hug. You don't need a reason" tango spoke softly while embracing Zed with a warm hug.

"Thank you tango. I'm sorry for being stubborn"

Some Zedaph angst was requested by @thatzflow

This was going to be impulse angst, but I thought it would be better suited for Zed.

Anyways, this was entirely written between the hours of 2am - 3am as usual :)

And my apologies for barely updating any of my books.

But for now, Keep swimming my little fishies!

Much love,
