Now is Time

Reality strikes me everyday.

Crouched down, back against the wall

Feel so small

Cold tile floor

Close and lock the door

Turn on the shower

I stand alone and cower 

Water is scolding 

In my hand I'm holding

Something that can block some of the pain

It's this bullshit again

I step out

No longer needing to scream or shout

It hurts

The pain, it flirts

I feel better

No more under the weather

I realize this needs to stop

If it doesn't, I'm going to drop

I patch up

Looks pretty bad closeup

This ends now

There is no 'how?'

It stops right here

No more fear

No more pain

There is nothing to gain

It's done, it's over

Holding on to my four leafed clover

There is truly hope for all

We all stumble and fall

Now is a great time

Our time to shine.

I'm diggin it! Can definitely relate to your poems. I still battle with my feelings about this whole "life" thing as well. Keep writing and sharing!! A couple of mine are a bit depressing but they helped me alot when I needed it.
