It’s Another Day
A Poem
it’s another day where i’m sick to my stomach,
wondering what’s waiting for me on the other end
of tomorrow
it’s another day where i’m reeling from hope,
taking my pills and hoping for the best
even though i’m not really here
it’s another day where i’m trying my best
to be someone who’s not a legacy unknown
even as i quake inside
it’s another day where i let my insecurities eat me up
and spit me out, gulping me down and trying
to tear me apart
it’s another day where i’m falling apart in slow measures,
sinew tearing from bone and marrow even as i know
my earthly body is disintegrating
it’s another day where i’m trying my hardest
to know what it’s like to be someone
who’s not lost in a wave of time
it’s another day where i’m bitter and blue,
frequent in nothing (not even my thoughts)
even as others take the stage
