Poetry: Daily struggle

by Lola-Rose

Created on: March 18, 2009

Everyday, eyes won't open, legs won't move,

No point in getting up, nothing to see,

Nowhere to go, no-one I know,

Who cares enough to see that I'm stuck,

And reach to me, help me out of this dark, lonely hole.

Struggle to find the energy to get dressed,

Leave the house, 7:30 am and I'm already stressed,

Everyday the same, exhausting and boring,

No-one to go to talk to, no-one to laugh with,

Never been more lonely, no-one can see,

And reach to me, help me out of this dark, lonely hole.

I never eat, my stomach's always churning,

Food doesn't satisfy the constant yearning,

Of my heart for love, nor the ceaseless tumbling,

Of thoughts in my mind, thoughts no-one hears,

Because no-one is around to listen to all my fears,

And reach to me, help me out of this dark, lonely hole.

Beneath my smiles lie reservoirs of tears,

The dams struggling to keep them in,

More cracks appearing daily, pressure building up,

So much energy is needed to do the tiniest things,

Energy I don't have, with no-one to lean on,

And reach to me, help me out of this dark, lonely hole.
