Life in a few words

The seventh day

The seventh day

I was there the first day
I never wanted to leave
I tried to stay
Maybe I was just being naive

I was there the second day
It was getting just a bit harder
But I didn't see the grey coming my way
I thought it would all be silver

I wasn't really here the third day
But nobody noticed
I pretended everything was alright as I swayed
Drowning everything with music, unfocused

I kept trying the fourth day
But I was screaming inside
Thinking everything would be okay
It was hard to sleep that night

I tried again the fifth day
But I failed and no one noticed
There was only one way
So I put music and tried to stay unfocused

I couldn't continue the sixth day
I thought I would have managed
But it was a Saturday
So I just stayed

I lost it the seventh day
I left before anyone woke
It was a Sunday
When my mind became only screams and tears and smoke

And nobody noticed
So I kept trying
And continued
Even if I keep failing and falling
