Another Sad Story

Thoughts from a Depressed Black Girl

By PhaedraPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

I need another sad story to distract me from my own

A different broken dream, Someone else's stolen throne

I need another mouth to fill my thoughts with some thing else

Along the walls of my heart I need to fill the empty shelves

I want to run away, I want another name

If only I wasn't so attached to life I'd have another name

I want to sleep longer, to avoid this bleak existence

I feel spite within me fueling this persistence

But,

I have dreams not fulfilled yet

And the urge to push for more

I have a love that last a lifetime

And I'd give anything for a lifetime more

Blessings sometimes drive the darkness away

And even if they don't

I can say I lived another day

Even when the darkness says I won't.
