A Glimpse

 I slide my back against the wall

Pull my knees close

I stare blankly off to the world

Trying to remember how to feel

I have grown numb

Accustomed to the pain


I turn my head

I see my life

Trying to pass by me

The people walking past

Not even stopping to say hi


I see a world

That I am growing numb too

A world I don’t care in

Seeing parts of me fighting

For something to believe in

Yet the faith I have is gone


I tilt my head back and stare up

I wish I knew how to fight

Fight a battle that’s deep in my head

All I hear is the life around me

Me losing a battle that I just can’t win


Watching a love one

Who has stopped caring for themselves 

The burden has been placed on me to hold

The weight on my shoulders

Are getting to be too much to bear

How can I carry anymore


I try and keep myself alive

It’s hard when the world is passing me by

Seeing a loved one place more on these shoulders


Wrapping my arms around my knees

Burning my head

The tears begins to fall

How much can a person bear

Before it’s much

Does the family seem to care


I fight this battle

Deep inside

Everyday I keep going

Not letting anyone see

Except for today

A glimpse you all see
