When life gives you nothing
In return for everything you've ever done
When you can't breathe,
And for every step you take,
You're just choking on the realization
That
Things are never
As
They should be
You wish you could hold back your feelings,
So unwanted,
Making you feel so small inside
Of yourself
Making your insecurities float to the surface
Making you feel so vulnerable
So helpless
When you look
For things
You used to love
But find empty dust,
You curl up on the inside,
Just a little
Waiting
For someone,
Something,
Anything
To make you feel
Whole again
Waiting for them to sprinkle
Something,
Love and happiness and trust
To replace these worn-out gears
Of fear and envy
You wait
And you hope
And you try to hold onto that tiny spark within
That tells you,
You aren't alone
That makes you feel wanted
You try to hold on
Because you can't
Give up
Not now
Not now
When things are growing dire
Keep your head high
Remember
The storm will end
Eventually
