Face the Day

By Carly Floyd

I want to give up

Because this world is cruel

Reliving moments that make me cringe

Make me want to disappear.

I want to start over

Start fresh

Erase everything I've done

Or thought.

Living is hard

And I want to crawl back in bed

Pull the drapes

And go to sleep

Forever.

In the darkness I'm okay

I can imagine

I'm back in the womb

And I am new

Without my scars.

But the truth?

I still have to wake up

And face the day

And the people out there

If I can.
