A Day Just to Live

I wake up, but it’s not to the sun,

Just to another breath that’s barely mine.

No joy, no sorrow, just empty air,

I live because living is all I can bear.

The world spins on, but it feels so still,

Like I’m standing in place, against my will.

Tomorrow’s no promise, just the same old fight,

A blur of days passing into the night.

I can’t see the future, can’t even pretend,

A road with no light, no way to bend.

I can’t picture joy, or a place to belong,

Just another day where nothing feels wrong.

Not happy, not sad, just nothing at all,

Tired of waiting, but not brave enough to fall.

I’m just here, existing, no more to say,

Hoping tomorrow will feel a little less gray.
