Most Days

by Ren   Jan 31, 2017


What is happening?

There is a war,
Inside of my head-
Most days,
I feel like I’m dead.

Who am I?

I don’t recognize,
The sad face in the mirror-
Most days,
She becomes more unclear.

Am I going crazy?

The voices scream,
Telling me I’m unfit-
Most days,
I join in on it.

I don’t understand.

My mind is out of focus,
I watch my vision fade-
Most days,
I feel utterly betrayed.

I am falling apart.

A trembling mind so weak,
My heart slowly breaking-
Most Days,
I drown in my aching.

How do I keep going?

I cannot catch my breath,
Yet I don’t want to breathe-
Most Days,
I just want to leave.

I can’t even sleep.

To live another day,
I truly fear-
Most Days,
Feel like a year.

This is not me.

To be forever gone,
I do not belong-
Most Days,
I just feel so wrong.

Do I need help?

Battling tears I cannot cry,
I find comfort with this blade-
Most Days,
I am truly afraid.

Of whom I have become.

A mindless zombie,
Filling with lost hope-
Most Days,
It’s hard to stay afloat.

What do I do?

Longing for an escape,
Or a quick Fix-
Most Days,
Are never ending conflicts.

Do not let them know.

I smile.
I laugh.
I hide within this haze.
I pretend that I’m okay…

Most Days, Anyways.

    This is that confusion that helplessness where hope just
    goes and one always think there is no way out. Its like the whole
    world is correct and got it all while we are falling apart and even
    discussing about this can never bring relieve...but you know
    the best place to start is with yourself...add positive thoughts
    into you...hope you are okay, take care

    Ren,

    As powerful as this piece is and as well written as it is, it is a dreadfully sad poem to read and - if literal - I am very sorry.
    I, too, have days where it seems easier to simply give up, but I've turned the corner enough times to know that things do get better eventually. Just keep your chin and up and keep on!

    All the very best as ever,

    Ben
