Wake

Every morning
I lie in bed,
afraid
to open my eyes.
Afraid
for the day
to start.

Every morning
I lie in bed,
wishing
to not feel
the pain,
the hatred,
the anxiety.
Wishing
to not feel
numb
as the consequence.

I don't want
to feel,
but
I don't want
to not feel
either.

Every morning
I lie in bed,
afraid
to wake
because
I know
my wishes will
not come true.
