It's a battle
To live everyday,
Not knowing what hell you'll face.
"Will I be a fish out of water
Or struggle to get out of bed?"
At least if I'm in bed,
I'm safe from this nightmare.
The nightmare is inescapable...
The nightmare called life.

This is very relatable. The dark night of the soul of life has engulfed our souls as we walk upon this journey of life. We learn to walk through the thorns of the roses and the nightmares of our imperfect lives.
This is such a relatable poem, even though it’s about a very specific experience. I’m so sorry about what you’re having to go through, but you have expressed yourself beautifully through this poem. I hope that it was at least cathartic for you to write this.
I'm so sorry for all you're going through. 🤗
Lol, my latest story begs to differ. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
Aww, my heart goes out to you! Sending you big hugs :)
Sad but true!
So sad
