Surviving the Moments
The pain builds within,
I turn my head to the skies.
The emotion takes over,
And tears stream from my eyes.
Loneliness and sorrow scatter,
As each drop hits the floor.
My hands reach for the sky,
I can’t take, anymore.
With tightly clinched teeth,
I force out a prayer.
Angry and selfish words,
But I don’t care.
My guardian angel calms me,
And lifts me to my feet.
She soothes my aching soul,
And removes feelings of defeat.
I have survived another moment,
Despite the perpetual strife.
I attempt to dry my eyes,
And continue with a normal life.
About this poem
We never know what most of the people around us are going through. Fighting back against depression is a battle and most people didn't know this was going on in my life.
