One Day At A Time II

The colors around me have been faded lately

and my shoulders have felt much more weighted...

waiting around for an end‐

I'd much rather drown than learn to swim...

through the perpetual storms this world has had to offer‐

Hope has become something I no more wish to hoard,

not for any longer.

~

The once blue sky has looked so plain lately

and the sun hasn't felt same...

I don't know if all has just become mundane or if my skin has simply become numb‐

waiting for these "better days" that have still yet to come, but...

I can't do this "one day at a time" nonsense anymore

I've somehow gone from not having enough time...

to not wanting anymore.

~

As if everything around me has turned gray

wondering if "one more day" will ever, actually be just one more day...

wondering if I can just go or if I'll ever again, actually want to stick around‐

Thinking that I might actually find peace in being buried beneath this ground on which I stand‐

The weight of this world has simply become too much to wait for anything any longer...

and the hope that once kept me alive now burns my skin‐

Why must I hold for on any longer?...
