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.
