I wish for a reason
To believe in another day
When all my feelings
Are stowed away.
I am a liar,
Speaking in true form.
With nothing within
But a raging storm;
A violent, violent storm.
My mind is scattered
My logic is shattered.
Nothing is left
In this maddening disarray
Winds echo through me, yet
I hear, see, feel nothing.
But I wish for a reason
To believe in another day
And I hope that you give me
A reason to stay.
Another minute, another hour.
No matter how long
You have the power.
I have seen nothing but a dark and stormy sky
Felt nothing but the nipping cold
From the loneliness I accept
To serve as my norm
But here you are
Happy with no concept
Wishing for another day
For all you have been is content.
Show me a reason
To stay another day
To be as mindless and free
Like you to some degree.
Give me some of that, if you will.
In return I’ll crush this pill;
And maybe I’ll stay another day.
One more day, I wish for you to grow and learn, love. I pray for your one more day. A powerful poem.
Amazing. Strength. We all know the feeling, I think. Just stay, and tell yourself, beg yourself. Much love.
i too have known this feeling. “in return maybe i’ll crush this pill...”. sometimes all it takes to have a bright forward looking soul to serve as a loving example.
i hope you have that. my heart and prayers go out to everyone who’s ever identified with this feeling!
