Have you ever been exhausted?
Like mind draining, a gallon of
tears awaiting.
Ever tried to explain pain that
you don’t even understand?
Betrayal that you absolutely
cannot comprehend?
Ever craved to feel at home, like
at peace
With your body and all that you
are?
Do you ever feel like you’re in
the crowd- watching life happen to you?
It’s like no matter how hard you
try, you can’t make life work for you
From one event to another,
watching life take and take, then take some more.
Have you ever wanted to scream; I
mean scream so bad?
You hurt your throat.
Do you also wait until night to
cry, you know; the silent tears
Into your pillow.
Is your pillow also your
therapist? Friend? And judge, in one?
Is insomnia your friend? And loneliness
your husband?
Can you explain this hurt that is
cancerous? It keeps growing.
Do you look forward to your night
terrors? You know; to at least feel fear,
Because every other time, it's like you're a breathing machine.
Is love also foreign to you?
Why haven’t you ended it?
What keeps you going?

“What keeps me going?”
ReplyDeleteThe people around me I guess. I know most times we tend to feel all these emotions at once but the thought of having people around me who love, support and are always there for me, that’s what keeps me going
What I love most about your work is how relatable they are. This is amazing as usual 👊
ReplyDeleteWhat keeps me going? Its the fact that a lot of people believe in me and support me at every step of the way. Its an awesome feeling, I won't want to let them down. Yeah, that is what keeps me going
