"donee" poems
Another day, another night.
Life is the battle and I’m losing the fight.
The world keeps spinning but the color is gone.
29 years feels far too long.
I’m not who I wanted to be,
I don’t even know who I am.
I wake up feeling empty
And see a reflection I can’t stand.
I only have one purpose.
To care for my son.
I’m a mother at the surface,
But inside I’m undone.
The devils at my door
He’s been knocking for years.
The loneliness I abhor
Well, it never disappears.
“I’m doing good, how’s yourself?”
What really can I say?
I’m too scared to ask for help.
I don’t want to be this way.
“Someone please love me!!”
I scream in my mind.
I’m in pain and need saving.
I’m a failure by design.
“Life is what you make it”
They tell you when you’re young.
But love will leave you naked,
With a bitterness on your tongue.
Well the show must go on,
Check your baggage to the side.
It’s Easier said than donee ,
When you no longer feel alive.
