Maybe One More Day
an original poem by Jason White
When I can't seem to get out of my own head.
When I feel I'd be better off dead.
I just lay down and cry.
And ask myself why.
I've made it this far.
I'm a waste.
A waste of breath.
A waste of time.
A waste of life.
Just a waste of space.
I replay every mistake ever made.
Every stupid thing I've ever said.
Goddamn, I'm tired of being in this same place.
I could end it all.
Why do I stall?
Fuck it.
I just have a few calls to make.
To tell them I love them always.
They won't miss me too much.
But my fucked-up head's not their fault.
I fall to my knees and I pray.
I can't stand my minds fucked up games.
I no longer want to play this way.
But I just got no more energy to stay.
Maybe if I ask or beg He will take all my burdens away.
I get off my knees and wipe the tears from my face.
Maybe I can make it one more day.
