Another sleepless night
My sight is black and white
Life in grey isn’t right
Out of mind, out of sight.

I get it, I give up.
I’m waiving the white flag.
I get it. I understand.
You’re the best I’ll never have.
Life has disappointed me.
I’ve been the best I’ll ever be.
It’s ok – I can take it.
Life’s way more than
I can ever make it.
This is all there is,
all that ever was.
I surrender to the truth
There’s nothing left for us.

I’ve taken falls
Lost almost everything
What have I learned?
All that remains
Is all I’ll ever need.

I reach to pick up the pieces
Getting cut by the broken edges
I don’t know how I got here
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
You give it everything you have
And you fight until the battle’s won
But what if you’ve given all you can?
Yet the war has only just begun
I put up all these walls around me
Making barriers and building shields
I don’t want people to see my bruises
All my failures would be revealed
Love and success are all I’ve ever wanted
The reason behind all this change –
So I pick up the pieces and glue them together
With the hope of being whole again.
- The Dalema. November 21, 2016
With all the challenges
I’ve been through
and all the struggles
I’ve seen
no matter what I refuse to believe
A dream is just a dream.
