Challenge
Write about strength.
To carry on
I lie awake
desperate to sleep
uncontrollably shaking
breathing deep
Heart racing
a wandering mind
the night no comfort
no rest, it’s unkind
Uncontrollable weeping
is haunting me
no rhyme, no reason
I long to be free
Indecision hounds
my every move
unthinkable thoughts
I need to soothe
Pure exhaustion
now tires my eyes
depression is the bitch
that fucks with my mind
I dread the light dawning
in fear of the day
what will it be
why am I this way?
Sometimes I wonder
if not waking
would resolve
this dreaded path I’m taking
The morning arrives
and I’ve had little sleep
my inner strength
so bruised and weeps
Yet somehow I find
the will to carry on
to endure another day
and in some way stay strong.
