Present
They say today is a gift,
I whisper in my head, please make it swift,
My feet feel heavy like lead,
With every step I take.
I try to remember the good,
But no matter what I do,
It feels like I’m fading,
Losing what once sustained me.
The feelings rise, then disappear,
Everything that lifts my mood,
Slips through my hands.
I pray to the lord-
Please, let me go.
Everything feels like a lie,
A world ruled by the snake.
There is only one place i long for,
The stars above,
A place with no more tears,
No more pain.
But they say today is a gift.
So here I am.
