Begging Reality
<p>I stare at you, you stare back, </p><p>Your gaze is cold, hard and dark.</p><p>My being is numb, my mind is spiraling, </p><p>You’re so unkind, so very frightening. </p><p><br/></p><p>Let’s sit down, let’s talk gently, </p><p>No screaming, just a chat that’s friendly.</p><p>Hear me out. Give me your attention, </p><p>We can do something to reduce this tension. </p><p><br/></p><p>I’m trying to make you understand, </p><p>Why can’t you see? Why torture me? </p><p>I’m in tears for what you are right now,</p><p>I wonder if you’ll grow soft, if I’ll no longer frown. </p><p><br/></p><p>When is my sunshine going to rise? </p><p>When will tears stop flowing from my eyes? </p><p>See how much I’m ranting,</p><p>I’m running away so hard, I’m panting. </p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe I should gather strength, </p><p>Maybe I'll take one more deep breath. </p><p>I’ll search for hope, we’ll become a team, </p><p>We’ll make a comeback, one that’s subtle and dim. </p><p><br/></p><p>But I’m afraid. My heart might crush again, </p><p>I can’t break again, my peace is already hard to maintain, </p><p>Please make me smile so I won’t be in despair, </p><p>The end to this turmoil will remain my only care.</p><p><br/></p>
