Rising SunA Poem by Calvin Warden II
I awake once again
Ready to face a new day But I find myself unable to rise Just sitting on the side of the bed Bound by these senseless doubts And unreasonable feelings of dread All sense of reason has gone I'm simply buried in my fears No one else can see my problem Or understand this invisible pain Because there is no real reason No cause for feeling this way Caught in my own illusions Living without really living As tears run down my face And year of life pass me by I don't really want to live Nor do I really want to die Now I'm stuck in this limbo Made up of my own thoughts Not knowing what to do Feeling so empty inside Listening to my own demos Not able to see the light I call out for a moment's peace A simple chance to catch my breath I see all the loving people Knowing not why they're there They can't be there for me I know I'm not worthy But in my heart I know them And I want to let them all in But is it right to burden them To spread my misery and pain I feel I must carry the load alone But then one by one they step Each taking a piece from me This I do not understand How did they even find me But now my family and friends They have all begun to lift me Raising up to face the sun And the life I've forgotten The warmth it's stirring Something breaks free I know it's a long journey But once again I will be me © 2020 Calvin Warden II |
