I Just Don't Care

by ·

11/21/2018
I just don't care the way I once did
Thoughts in my head are hauntingly morbid
All around me, life is sordid
Maybe there's a way for the pain to be thwarted

Push negativity aside
Make space for compassion, observe from outside
Realize that happiness is not just a lie
We tell ourselves to survive

While I'm lying on the floor
Supine, I can take no more
There must be some way to restore
Things back to better than before

Someday soon the day will come
You'll wake to a newly rising sun
Chains broken, restraints undone
Enter into the world as one
