Another Day
As the days pass
I think about my life
I sit around and wait
For the spark in my veins
I work, I pray, I plan in dismay
I pretend to be happy and hope not to get caught
Filled with doubt and emptiness,
More things were bought
The memories mean nothing
Time is an illusion
No one is here
Is this my conclusion?
Today is my birthday
I feel sad and inept
I'm confused and in pain
Because this I can't accept
Someone please help me
I'm crying for aid
Is that even possible?
Or do I just need to help myself?
I don't know what I want
Can I even be happy?
But how do I get there
when the climb seems so rocky
God, are you there?
I'm tired of this stress
Can you please help me?
I'm becoming depressed
I guess I will wait
Not sure for how long
My body is exhausted
And my soul is losing hope.
Carla Calderas
Much love,
Carla
