I awake in the morning

No yawns, I only sigh

Then cry, another day to

Suffer and strain to wade through

 

I prepare my bag for school

My escape from solitude

Poor mood won’t wane to smile

As school’s a torturous trial

 

Students chatter with companions

Jealousy strikes my heart again

They’ve friends they can take pride in

I’ve no one to confide in

 

I extend trembling arm

They retreat with disgust

I’m crushed, I want to be blessed

And laugh and not be depressed

 

I go to the doctor

Seek love, prescribed a pill

To kill this plague on my life

But medicine can’t cure that strife

 

I return to dismal home

To be bludgeoned by my thoughts

I’m locked in mental fetters

Dreaming for a life better

 

I struggle to go to sleep

Discontent with my day

I lay in bed with no hope

Anguish knots my noose’s rope

 

I call a well-acquainted hotline

And cry til tears subside

They try to calmly temper me

Reminds pain is temporary

 

Why continue on when I’ve no reason?

Enduring daily assaults on my weak soul

What drives me to suffer as tragedy’s toy?

That one glorious day I’ll finally taste some joy
