Falling

Fighting an endless battle,
waiting for it all too end. 
Thinking about an easy way out,
wanting to blow my own candle out.

Everyday a new battle, 
My mind fights it daily,
Only my mind gave up a long time ago.

No one can lead me out of this darkness,
No one can give me the key,
No one can see i am scared as hell,
Trying to find my own way back to my soul.

One more breath, one more day, 
Crying deep beneath is a person you cannot see,
I have a secret underneath,
As i keep walking, i am falling and i start crawling,
Not knowing what to think or say you act as if it is all okay.

Waking up, dont grieve i am gone. 
Don't write paragraphs of sadness and loss,
because when i was alone no one was here.

As the days keep going,
I keep falling, and i am crawling.

Life is an endless series of ups and downs! We have to maximize the "ups" and minimize the "downs." Even though it may seem that you keep falling - the trick is to keep getting up and keep moving! Great poem! Keep writing! Hugs. Pandita
