It is all consuming

it eats you inside out

with no hope inside

you burrow in the blankets

sadness, your only companion

 

No end, no beginning

it was just there

engulfing you

drowning you

in tears and doubts

 

Death is but a friend

soothing and calming

but

is that really the answer

when all you can see

is darkness?

 

Close your eyes

take a deep breath

lay down

take it one day at a time

the battle could be won

but

the war rages on

 

Slowly, you’ll resurface

find the strength

to fight back

overwhelming

as it may be

tiring as it is,

never give up on you

 

Time,

the one thing you need

one day

the light will come

you’ll be a better you

but until then

do what you can

to survive

do what you can

to live.
