This is a poem about a dark period of time I went through for some years and how I felt. |
I once knew someone who saw nothing Knew no beauty and saw no light Woke up each morning unwilling to open their eyes To stay in a dream and never to wake Was once a desire A dream in its self To slit their wrists and cut their throat To hold their head beneath the waters And swallow pills was how they lived Their daily existence Nothing mattered and there was no care To sit blindly with bleak blank stares No light behind those eyes All had been drained due to caring too much Surrounded yet feeling alone Feelings of not wanting to stay at home I now know someone who sees everything Every perspective Each particle of light Someone who sees beauty in even the most corrupt Order out of chaos Willing to open their eyes Each day and live their dream To live and not exist To feel unconditional love And care for everything To sit with light behind those eyes And gaze in awe at the stars above To be surrounded and feel loved Even when no one is there Everyone in a while these two meet They argue who is right And work out their disagreements For the benefit of each For without one there would be no other Neither is right or wrong All three of us have just learnt How to get along I knew someone once And it was me |
