Desolate Journey

Heyyy! Sorry it's been a while since I last posted! I've been busy and couldn't think of anything to write...

Today this hit me as a song in the shower. I've forgotten the tune, but I remember the words, and I extended it into a poem.

We all have those times when we feel depressed. This is for you, my dears. 

Desolate Journey:

I’ve lost my way;

I’m not where I’m supposed to be.

I’ve gone blind;

I can’t even see anything, not even me.

The stars come out to mock me,

Shine so bright as if there’s hope

When all I see is darkness

And suffocating smoke.               

The waves that crash upon the shore,

They try to reach me, stretching their arms

Wanting to drown me in all my sorrows.

And I’m so close to falling into their sweet charms.

And yet when all seems to be lost,

When all I know seems to be gone,

I’m still fighting every day

For when I find life even remotely savorsome.

The happy faces all around -

I envy them at every turn,

Wishing to be one among them,

Not wanting the world to burn.

The tears that sleekly glisten down my cheek

Are crying themselves, crying out for help.

My hands, they shiver, and my heart is tired

And it might just die with a final whelp.

I’ve lost my way and I’ve gone blind.

Every day I wonder if I’ll last another day,

But I always make it through.

On this desolate journey, alive I will stay.

My heart, it beats thud after thud,

And my shivering hands crave comfort.

The stars that mock me? I mock them back

Because I will survive the hurt.

I’ve lost my way and I’ve gone blind.

Every day I wonder if I’ll last another day.

But I always make it through.

On this desolate journey, alive I will stay.

I know it's hard. But I promise you that someday everything will be okay, and you just have to hold on until then. Don't give in to the horrors and sorrows. Don't give in. There are people who care about you, and I am one of them. I may not know you, but know that I care about you. So for me, for your friends and for your family, hold on. Don't give in. There will be brighter days for you, I promise. I can't say when, but just hold on until then.
