Comfort in Words

And one day
Everything crumbles

You are tired
You get all the jobs that you don't want
You try but you fail

The smallest of tasks becomes the biggest challenge
The minor issues a monstrous mountain

And you realise
No one is there

And you are in a trap
One you made with your mind
And there is no escaping

Obligation
Conscience
Sense of duty
Emotional ties
Promises

And what's left is


Just you
And your mind


Silenced, for

Years
Months
Weeks
Days

Today
Tomorrow


And my only comfort is
Words
To listen
To say
To be heard
By a blank page

New, clean, and untouched

Let tomorrow come a new set of hours
To believe again
To try once more
At this thing called life
