Another Day

- Another Day: I thought over time the feeling would go away. I thought if I went through all the steps and educated myself, I could keep it at bay.

I thought over time the feeling would go away.
I thought if I went through all the steps and educated myself, I could keep it at bay.
I thought I could block it out by becoming numb.
Until being numb is the only thing I know.
I am numb, that’s all I am. Nothing much is left of me.

I watch as my heroes slowly fall.
Understanding so much yet feeling so small.
I question myself, is now the time?
Can I let go of these thoughts which I’m sure started as mine?
But no. Now is forever not the time. I have to keep fighting.
I know my enemy well, it’s my inner reflection that I try to hide.
My only refuge is this shell in which my mind resides.

But today is not that day, neither is tomorrow.
For today the sun could still shine and if I wasn’t here it would only cause sorrow.
So I take one step forwards, a little step everyday.
He’s ever so calming and positive they all say.
You see, everytime I smile it’s because I’m grateful. I’m just glad I got through another day.
