Poetic Thoughts

Time

Give me a break

Don't I deserve it

Give me some time

Won't I preserve it

Life gave me lemons

And I couldn't make lemonade

When life was too much for me

Maybe that's what I should've made

Give it a rest

Don't overthink it

Give it some time

Then you'll heal it

These are the words of comfort

That people around me give

But they didn't tell me what to do

When I can't even bring myself to live

Look at yourself

What's wrong with you

There are so many people 

Who don't survive this too

But my mind's betraying

My own bright soul

It can't even register happiness

So it's digging my own hole

I beg myself, to give it a rest;

It'll be alright, I tell myself

But since my mind has decided this

Time won't ever heal my hurting self

Cause time was never the issue

Right from the very beginning

But the minute I understood that

I was staring at my own ending.
