Untitled 1

Everyday is an opportunity

Filled with hope and sunlight

Shining through my window

I begin to feel confident

As the light slowly brightens the room

 

But as the day drags on

My confidence sinks lower

And today becomes yesterday

The pain more unbearable

And my heart wails aloud

 

My steps become slower

As I force myself forward

The weight of the world on my shoulders

I grunt with effort

But keep my head held high

 

Finally I can take no more

And crumple to the ground

My tired body trembling

Sad music fills my ears

As tears begin to escape my eyes

 

Silently, my heart cries out

Engulfed in more than my own pain

As I lie, locked in my room, shivering

Can I never go a day

Without breaking down into tears

That was sad and emotional. It's something similar to what I would write. I loved it! I've been through similar days, so that poem really hit home for me. It brought tears to my eyes. I especially loved the third stanza. Amazing. Keep up the good work. 100/100

My soul reaches out to anyone who would feel as trapped and oppressed as this. It's never a fun situation to find oneself in and no one should have to live it. This piece makes one think about what they themselves, or people they know, have gone through. It also asks us all, what can we do to make a difference for those who feel this way.

A very painful, yet worth piece of ink. :)
