The Day After

I feel the drumming of my heart
each pound, a nervous thump
muffled by inner thoughts
wrapping me in worry.

I sit mute, with only finger strokes
doing my talking, as I am silenced
by fear. Lips tighten,  
holding back the cries of despair.

Shrinking,
once again, withdrawing from life,
not strong enough to resist
the hardships to be faced.

Feeling flat, my emotions stilled,
I shall plane out the present
and hope to rise again,
when the light of tomorrow
meets the dark of today.

~Wynter
