One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world will be better for this.
-Joe Darion, "The Impossible Dream"
Drowning
I wake up each day
To find I'm not dead
So I curl right back up
And cover my head
I don't want to get up
I don't want to live
I don't want to smile
Of myself give and give
Because deep in my heart
My soul cries out
Screaming in pain
Though I do not shout
Rivers of agony
Make up my blood
And I drown in depression
As if in a flood
It hurts me to breathe
And it hurts me to smile
And I pray that each day
It'll stop in a while
But the pain doesn't end
And the days blend together
As I beg on my knees
For things to get better
The smallest of things
Makes my eyes fill with tears
So when I look at the world
It's all watery smears
By Rosi
