One Window, Just One

One window is all I need. 

Coming home from a long day, motionless on my bed 

 trying to find the strength to get up and go on 

 I look at myself in a mirror, hum songs stuck in my head  

I wish I could smile and believe,  

believe that through all this pain that I am stronger 

 they think I get stronger every day I'm still alive,  

but I believe I am growing weaker as I move on,  

living, surviving, fighting, to believe in myself and find the strength within me  

Now I see one window is all I need.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.

hum songs stuck in my head. I had to really think about that, and instantly realized this is exactly what they are. Felt and understood.
