*Coping for the Soul - 2020*

My heart spills onto the page

Through the words that you read

Through the letters I continue to write.


Venting in my only true art form

Continuing to hold myself high

As I refuse to cave in to my past.


I refuse to go back

To where this all began

To where I nearly didn't make it out.


I remember a time

Where I started my old methods

Coping wasn't exactly a healthy option.


Sometimes I still stay up late

And stare at the thin lines scattering across my canvas

Wondering why I decided to paint my story that way.


I still stay up

Wiping tears from my eyes

As I recall what caused me to do so.


The loud noises fill my head

From the rooms next to mine

As shattering and slamming resonates throughout the air.


I still feel the pain

Of the words that she said

As she slammed the door and ran away from us.


My life truly fell

The day those words were said

Yet I still pushed forward.


What for

I ask myself that daily

Yet I'll never know the answer.


Nobody ever knows the answer

Or the meaning of life

Or really anything along those lines.


People just think

That maybe things happen

For some sort of reason..


But what reason

Why is there so much

Never-ending pain?


Why is nothing

Ever enough

To please the entire population?


Why

Why am I not enough

Why am I not enough to make anybody truly happy?


Why am I not enough?
