A Glance Forward
January 6, 2015
I don't have any reason for this.
If I did, everything would be
Simpler. Easier.
Instead, I just die slowly inside
Until the day when I decide to
Speed the process.
I don't know when that will be.
I don't know how I'll do it.
I just want it to come.
Oh, sweet relief.
What a breath of fresh air
It would be to take a step
Outside this life
And into the next.
But until that day,
I'll wait. I'll be patient for my special day.

Despite the hopeful connotations of the title, this is actually quite a depressing poem. I was attacked by depression when my guard was down, and it full-out slammed me in the brain. One minute I was doing fine, and the next I was feeling absolutely awful. This helped clear my head somewhat. I've gotten back into the swing of things, and I can feel inspiration coming back into my head once more.
