At The End of the Day

Another day  
Bruh is something I say a lot 
Cannot stop the way I feel 
Dominance is something I take with me 
Fearing nothing but the things that await me 
Going through the motions  
Hanging on by a thread that could break in any second  
In this time I have  
Just do it 
Keeping all the cracks sealed  
Lines waiting to be connected  
Moving the puzzle pieces together  
Not knowing where it will take me 
On to the next one  
Pleasing to the eye but not the heart  
Questions I ask myself  
Regarding what’s going on right now 
Standing up tall 
Til I collapse  
Until the end of time 
Very anxious about what’s to come  
What will happen ? 
X-ray to check how I’m doing 
Yesterday is over and yet I still don’t know 
Zoom past into today and live it again tomorrow.  


The author's comments:

I wrote this piece in my first period English class. It is an Abecedarius poem and I just wrote down how I felt in that moment. A lot of reflecting of the previous day and how I think about my fears and the obstacles I face in life and how I move on, thinking the next day will  be better. I didn't just write this for myself, also hoping it will touch other young people like myself.
