The Dark Phase

I did not plan these -

To feel sad all the time,

To have no energy to be happy,

To lose myself each and every time,

To feel dead when I am actually alive.


I do not want these -

The loud thoughts that squeeze my head,

The fragile dam of tears that breaks countless times,

To wear the smiley mask I desperately want it rid of,

Because I’m exhausted and drained.


None of these was my choice.

But I ought to acknowledge it,

Because it’s part of the process,

To fall down in order to get back up again.


So I continue to save me,

In hopes this phase will pass,

Believing that I will bloom again,

For every dark night, will gift a brighter day.
