Waking Up Again

Waking up again, going down the stairs, not having time to eat before rushing out the door.

Will this be the day?  The day it all end?  The pain, the anguish and all the hurt?  

The day goes by ever so slowly, I wander why, why I am in this world...

Is today the day? The day I will be released? Released from this prison made by ignorant fools?

I watch the news with certain terror, so much pain, please show me something better.

Should today be the day?  The day I will escape?  From their rules, their norms, their sickening laws?

I've come to realize that having knowledge is a bad thing, for knowing what's going on around you can make you go insane.

All the crimes people do.  All the lives that are taken, all the tears that rush down, when I think of all the hatred.

Would today be the day?  If I were courageous enough to take my own life in hopes that there will be something better on the other side?

I'm back home now, I guess today was not the day.  I hope I die in my sleep, I'm not looking forward to waking up tomorrow.  However, If I do wake up, I do hope I am more courageous.

Hmmmm....this was a thought-provoking piece for me. I liked how you flirted with the idea of suicide; yet at the same time simply craved death without pushing it. The last line was spectacular! Very nicely done...am quite impressed!!

Oh but D Edgar- I have to contradict you, even if I do twist your words a little...there is nothing remotely flirtatious about suicide...nothing at all...

You know succubus, you're right - sometimes it does take courage to wake up and carry on living...

good write

Reminds me of the main truth of James Joyce's Ulysses,
that every day lived
is a heroic effort ...

That's the great thing about love.
Two heroes
(and, of course,
a few more fights)
