and others who find themselves in this way
We are sick with sickness
Tired of sleeplessness
Guilty of terrible guilts
Never hope to find hope
Unable to cope with everything
We makes ourselves nothing
We want to shrink
To blink out
There's this black cloud
Covering the world
It makes a haze of days
Where bed's the only
Landscape we want to see
Can't fail at lying there
It taints and blinds
Sucks out the joy
We're numb
And even sadness
Holds no sway;
We pray for the end of day
And at the edge we stare
With empty eyes
Making tiny, misdirected cries -
'lock the door behind me -
I'm going out for good.'
But the edge is still an edge
It has a limit, this black cloud,
And one day it will move,
All rained out.
You will look back,
Memories vaguely shadowed
But you'll live,
And for knowing that dark
Life will be the brighter
I read your words,
I glimpsed your heart
Even from your cloud
You shine
You have no right
To rob the world of
Your furiously dazzling mind
Your understanding eye
The glory that you are
Just one breath
More wondrous than
You can possibly see
Just think:
Already with few words
You touched others,
Made them think, create, respond
Made them slightly more alive!
You did this.
Just think:
We are all dreamers
In this place
And we stand and watch the stars
Together at the waterfront.
Never alone.
Please don't.
