MAYBE

I woke up today

my head was pounding.

I closed my eyes

The sounds surrounding.

Dogs are barking

Kids are yelling.

I can't make out

what they're saying.

I want to lay here

To hide away.

I don't want to get up

To face another day.

My heart feels empty

Its heavy and low.

My head is crowded

The pain no one knows.

I keep it all in

It's better that way.

I don't want anyone

To feel this pain.

Losing my loved ones and

losing my mind.

I feel like I'm dying

All of the time.

I love and trust very few people

But worry here soon

I'll loss them all to.

My chest is achy

I cannot breathe.

Would it be better

if I were to leave?

Maybe God

Will just take me instead.

Maybe this

Is what I get.

But maybe, just maybe 

Life's has more for me still.

Maybe, just maybe.

Life always will.

MAYBE...?
