A Day's Reason

Within each day holds a reason. I, who had lost all logic and thought lack one. As someone who lives a life of contentment, surely you have some reason to spare for me.

I wish for a reason

To believe in another day

When all my feelings

Are stowed away.

I am a liar,

Speaking in true form.

With nothing within 

But a raging storm;

A violent, violent storm.

My mind is scattered

My logic is shattered.

Nothing is left

In this maddening disarray

Winds echo through me, yet

I hear, see, feel nothing.

But I wish for a reason

To believe in another day

And I hope that you give me

A reason to stay.

Another minute, another hour.

No matter how long

You have the power.

I have seen nothing but a dark and stormy sky

Felt nothing but the nipping cold

From the loneliness I accept

To serve as my norm

But here you are 

Happy with no concept

Wishing for another day

For all you have been is content.

Show me a reason

To stay another day

To be as mindless and free

Like you to some degree.

Give me some of that, if you will.

In return I’ll crush this pill;

And maybe I’ll stay another day.

[Poignant poet]

Really profound and powerful. I feel like the rhyming added a needed feeling to the poem and made it far more meaningful.
