This day

 

This day….

I feel it all

The heaviness, the burden, the pressure

The force slams me to the floor

This day…

Monotone

I am on auto pilot

It’s all a blur

My soul escapes through my pores

I am unaware

This day…

Is Joy

I feel triumphant

The acceleration of happiness flows through me

It’s as if I finally have won the battle between my mind & my soul

Fleeting yet solid in my bones

This day…

Is ordinary

A dream, some might say 

But then I wake up

The horrific sorrow looms over my head, like a cloud

This day…

Will be different

Because I have to make a choice

I cannot stay here forever

Regardless of the ties that bind me

Each day…

Is a new step

Leading down a path I did not choose

But a road that I must travel from this day forward
