Survive

Lost in the moment
Living for today with no sight of tomorrow
A smile on my face hides the pain inside
Short burst of happiness
Hanging onto anything instead of having nothing
Scared, afraid, lonely
Weeks, months, years go bye
Long-term happiness nowhere in sight
I push to go on…

I push to survive

Poem - Forgotten

Memories of who I once was
Thoughts of loved ones from the past
Stories of happiness fade
I question who I am
A stranger in the mirror
Sadness in my heart
I look but cannot find
No one left…

… I am forgotten
