What does life have to offer?
After we all endure suffering
To think it is going to be okay,
Just to have something to look forward to.
No matter how pathetic it sounds.
But we don't have anything.
And we don't have anyone.
But then to think,
Only to ourselves,
What if I had you.
I will always be there.
I always have been there.
You just never seem to notice.
So here I am sitting alone,
Pouring my heart out in the only way I know how.
I know that you don't really care,
But when you need me I will always be there.
When I try to be happy,
Nothing seems to work.
But then I see you.
I admire the way you always seem to smile.
Even at the worst times.
You always find the good.
Even when life seems to do terrible things.
You are always there with a smile.
I know it's fake.
No one is that happy.
I want to be the one to break your walls.
To know what goes on behind your eyes.
So I will always be there.
Hiding and waiting for you to let me in.
Because I have no one to care.
I have nothing.
So I will help as much as I can.
And in time I will still be there.
So if you will care I will stay,
And I will be your tie to reality.
As long as you will be my anchor.
And keep me from sailing away,
But also keeping me from drowning.
As my demons rise,
I need to know you are there.
To be by my side.
Forever and always.
To fight them off and call my name.
As in my head I am screaming.
I need some relief.
And all I have is hope.
Hope that you won't abandon me.
And leave me for dead.
To drown in my own self loathing.
And as long as you are my anchor,
I will be your tie.
To keep you here,
But also let you fly.
As long as you hold me down,
And never let you die.
So Please be my anchor,
And let me be your tie.

I haven't been in a great place lately and I find my writing to be a form of escape. I hope you enjoy.
