Hanging on with Mary

Drowning in plain sight
Smiling, lunges burning
My body begs for the escape of sleep
My mind rests on substances
Neither my own
My will spinning, sputtering
My grip weakening
Relief would be to make it all stop, to just let go
But I’ve survived this endless night before
More times than I can count
Coming back is never easy
But, it’s not as scary
When you’re not alone
When you’ve been here before
I know to look for the distant light
On the other side of this
Is a day worth seeing
So I’ll hang on here with you
Together, lets choose to stay and watch the light
Because we deserve to see that better day

  I am glad you look ahead to better days in the future. When I have a bad day, and the night feels heavy, I always say it will be better in the morning. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being part of The Unsealed family. <3 Lauren
