For The Best

Maybe it's for the best... -that I don't receive my every desire. Who and where would I be then?...

Maybe it's for the best that I can't write out my own dreams‐

maybe then, I'd finally find peace

and not my way back to reality...

or maybe I'd finally find rest

only to never stand on my own two feet again...

at least, not least on this side‐

maybe the steps I'd take in my slumber would lead me to escape

that I may finally leave this world behind...

or maybe I'd finally be pleased with what my eyes see when they're closed

maybe I'd pay that price, that they may never open again‐

maybe its for the best that I cannot write out my own dreams‐

maybe it's for the best that this request be denied

if it were satisfied, I'd never submit another...

maybe that's for the best...

that is, if not for the worst.

About the Creator

Josh Morgan

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
