Start again
One bad day...
Horrible at the beginning
Someone made me feel special
And everything felt better
Though I have to ask
Albeit a rhetorical question
Why does life get so difficult?
Torrents of emotions and unsaid words
Drowning out my sense of self
Things that once seemed bright
Now duller than dying flames
Food loses taste, atmosphere looks bleak
Feels like my life force being pulled out from me
But then I close my eyes and think
Of little things that keep me going
The deadweight feeling shall pass
Somehow I manage to pull through
And start again.
About this poem
The poem was written by me when I was at one of my lowest points. It Expresses the overwhelming feeling of failure, when things don't seem to go our way. And it gives hope in the end. That there's always something good to remember, to look forward to.
