These Feelings Won’t Last Forever

I felt so low again.

There's no reason for it.

The morning comes, and my eyes don't want to open.

I roll over and lethargy takes control.

I won't get out of bed today.

I shut myself out of this world.

Crawl into the depths of my mind.

I wander around, creating scenarios,

a world of all my dreams and hopes;

a world of all my sorrows and wretchedness.

I lie motionless, I could be dead.

My heart beating slow.

My love for myself, as low as it can go.

I spend hours here.

A pause in my time.

A ripple in the expanse of my oceans.

I can't get out of bed today.

And that's okay.

Tomorrow I will start afresh.

A new day shall dawn,

and with it, a new me shall be born.

From my ashes, I will rise.

I will not be my own demise.

These waves wash over me,

and I will take my moments when I am free.

Free to roam and be grateful again,

when I am ready, that will be when.
