Untitled Grief-19

By Katherine Lightwood

Lost in the confusion and in the world I see,
Demons of my mind dance with joy and glee.
Tomorrow was the day I kept griping into my hand,
Time passed and it ran through my finger like sand.
Days are grim and night is so bright,
It didn't let me sleep even though I fight.

I was looking at the sun till it set on the west,
My thoughts were clouded, I didn't have much rest.
My soul suffers in melancholy as it's the end of time,
I still search for the words so that I could rhyme.
Ran out of words and is losing my goal,
Looking for the devil to sell out my soul.

But the hope that I hope to follow,
Is running out of sight and that I have to swallow.
The untold agony has captured my life,
Still, they told me to be happy and simply just thrive.
But I hide behind my grotesque grin to see the sunlight,
And that's my only hope and that's my only right.
