As the sun peers through my mini-blinds, I wipe the sleep from my eyes and realize, It's another day. As I struggle to wake up and get out of bed, I hope and pray that this "new day" will bring some sort of joy. Not knowing what kind of mood I will be in, I get ready to go out and face the world. Lunch time, everything seems o.k. but for some reason I feel "thick". Facing prospects at work, I smile, and act cheerful. I turn away and inside I want to just walk away so I don't have to deal with them. I actually "Hate" them for walking in the door, even their mere existence disturb me. Six P.M. I cheerfully say "goodbye and have a great day!" knowing the rest of mine will be miserable. I wonder curiously when I act cheerful do they believe me? Am I for Real? I can't tell. I arrive at home. My dad wants to give me a hug but I cringe at the thought of any kind of human touch. At least by anyone I know. As the night falls I stay glued to the TV until I'm ready for bed. I've actually been ready since I woke up. I see a bad wreck and a drive-by shooting on the news and ask myself why couldn't that be me? As I walk down the hallway cutting off lights. I wonder through the dark. I realize that's what my life is "a hallway of darkness", a endless hallway, no light, no end. I lie in bed thinking about my day. Nothing has happened! Nothing good, nor bad. It was just "a day". I was just "there". So why did I even get out of bed when it's the same thing every day? As a tear rolls down my cheek, I pray that I make it through tomarrow, knowing deep inside I really just want to go to sleep never to awake. Thinking seriously about how that could be done, I silently fall asleep only to be awaken by the sun peering through the mini-blinds AGAIN!!! DAMN another day!!!... |
