One day at a time‐
Right?...
Yet, still
I'm counting what grains of sand remain
Control is not in my hands,
So...
I suppose that,
I have no choice but, to continue.
But of course, that is the right choice...
However...
There are times in which that I say, "I don't want to..."
Only to be contested with a, "How dare you..."
"Everyday is a gift..."
"Tomorrow is not promised..."
I know, all of this, but...
Still, that doesn't make this life any easier to live.
I've given life so, so many chances
And I still do...
I promise‐
I'm trying my best, but...
I truly have nothing left‐
My heart cries without rest
My face is numb, and dry
There's a void in my chest
And chaos, in my mind
There is truly a war taking place behind my eyes
I'm playing chess with myself
But losing every battle
I'm sorry that, surviving is simply the best I can do...
One day at a time, but‐
Let me say sorry in advance,
There may be one day that, I choose to not show my face
There may be a night, in which I, decide to break the hourglass
Let us pray, in hope that "that" day may not come
And continue...
Just one day at a time

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
