I wait in the darkness
Waiting for something; someone; to save me
After so many words, hitting me
With so much hatred, destroying me
Words, pain
More words, more pain
I wait for a long time
It feels like millions and millions of years
I'm still waiting
But I realize
No one is coming to save me
At first that thought beats me down
Down,
Down,
Down.
Everyday, I keep thinking with a little bit of hope
That someone will come
And take care of me like a doll that needs repairing
Pick me up from my broken state,
Fix my shattered porcelain skin
And carefully put my fractured mind back together
But everyday, when that doesn't happen, I lose that little bit of hope
All these words, all this hate
Why did it have to end up this way?
With one person laying on the floor, trying to decide what they have that could possibly make them want to get up again
With another person dreaming about how they could abuse their language to destroy someone who's already dust
And another person wondering why someone hasn't showed up to school for a week and a half, not realizing it's because they didn't say anything
Why?
I'm still waiting
But I know nothings coming to help
No answers to my questions, no helping hands, no reassuring smile, no warm embrace and a kind word
"It'll be okay."
But will it?
I think to myself
"Yes."
And finally I realize
There was someone who could help me escape the darkness and once again see the light
There really was someone to help me the whole time
That person is me
If I don't do something about the hate,
No one will
If I don't do something about the words,
No one will
If I don't scream out, yelling
"This can't go on!"
No one will
So I must be the one
I must be the one to do something
About the words, the hate, the people who beat me down so far I thought there was no way out
I must be the one to help me, and other people like me, escape the horrible prison of darkness
I was standing at the edge of a cliff
Trying not to be dragged down
And now
I'm standing at the edge of existence
Waiting to see the good that this world has to offer me, instead of the bad
Waiting at the edge of the hole of happiness
And jumping in, too
