Emotional Apocalypse

Try to make the best
Out of each day
Difficult for the hardened cynic
But realization is the first step
Towards a healing
And I’m exhausted in reeling
From the stress
Worry
Doubt.
But I have faith
For the answer lies within
The overthrow of trying
To be everything in their eyes
Feeling guilt
Shame and internalizing
The blame for atrocities I didn’t commit
And forgetting along the way of overcompensation
That loved ones just yearned for me
To be myself
Not a hero
Not a fraud and
By drowning in the emotional apocalypse
I shut down
My priorities out of whack
And off line.

So, I’ve done my time
And it would be wise
Just to remember why I’m here
Not take for granted the ones
That have helped along the path
I’ve got too much to give
To truly live for
So why be a slave to trying
To be someone I’m not
Never was or ever become?

P-3/30/19.
