Dark days and light days
By Sarah Widdowson
I feel pain that cuts so deep but is it worth losing sleep
How do you deal with pain of the heart how do you even start?
There is no cure there is no pills this pain it just kills
Many many times I feel this pain and yes suppose I will again
Their lives that I know and that I have always known.
They say things will get better, and you will be your self again.
I have dark days and light days the dark day things are just too much to bear and the only place I wish is not to be here. The light days are fine I sing and dance and try and fit in, oh I know I just fooling myself.
The truth is there more dark days than light. They say I need to let go of the past but some of the past is all I have.
I feel life has passed me by I tried to shout but it just did not hear me. So here I sit and wait for death because that’s were the people who love me the best are.
This is what dark days are like.
On light days I am happy I dance I sing and I play I live my life like I know I should.
The trouble is these days don’t last.
Then there are days I hide my pain and sadness I wear a painted smile for all to see.
These are the worse days were I am happy for others and that they can’t see me.
I sit alone and cry myself to sleep my heart is heavy and my head a mess most of the time I can not rest. Oh to know peace oh to share the joys of others. Oh to just be me again.
You can not tell your family or close friends how you feel they don’t understand,
This pain I feel is mine and mine alone it is something I must get over a path I must go one my own.
This path is hard with lots of turns it’s a path that leads to no returns there is another path that leads to happiness trouble is that path is blocked for me just now, with thorns and brambles and trees of every kind. This is the path I hope one day to find.
Till then I lock myself away put one my painted smile and face yet another day
And tell people I feel OK!.
Thank you for looking :)
