Weak For Once - Poem

Can I just speak for a moment.

This is hard because it's like a weak torment.

I just want to be strong always, but I'm just not some days.

I feel a weight on my chest, in my heart, on my shoulders.

Sometimes I just wanna mute it all.

But I can't find the switch in my mind.

So I sit and hear the voices fight while I'm blind.

Why can't these thoughts just be kind?

I too often keep it all inside, wondering what would happen if I let it outside.

But I'm afraid to see it all unwind.

Can I just be human today? Can I be weak for once, and not have to hide it?

Can I scream without scaring away those I love?

It's not that it's all real, but I can't deny the feel.

It builds and rises.

The uncertainly and hurt tries us.

But there are times, when it's all okay.

It'll all work out, isn't that what they say?

I guess that statement can sometimes make my day.

Because its true, but not always believable.

When it comes down to it, I have to admit that life is just hard, but it goes on.

And no matter how heavy the burden that's thrown on.

Life does in fact move along. And it does get better. And its worth the moments that lift our trials like a feather.

So today, I'm gonna be weak for once. Because if I don't embrace what I feel.

It'll come back at me all at once.

I guess it's okay not to be okay.

I guess today is gonna be a tough day.

But what do they always say? Tomorrow is a new day.

Now is my chance to create a new play.
