feedback jeder art At the end of the day (April 2021)

[Laura Marie]

Do you ever feel like a stranger in the dark?

You try to find a light, but it seems so hard

You stumble over all the stones lying in your way

And your motivation dwindles day by day

 

Do you ever feel like you’re talking in a language nobody speaks?

Under your skin you bear invisible scars nobody sees

Slowly you withdraw from the world, but nobody recognizes

You’re not the girl you used to be, but nobody realizes

 

Do you ever lose faith in the good in humanity?

You’ve already noticed our world is filled with gloom and negativity

No matter what you have in mind, you’ll never be tolerated

But think of those who cheer you up when you’re devastated

 

They’re gonna comfort you and show you the way

And at the end of the day, it’s gonna be okay

Remember they’re always gonna be by your side

And at the end of the night, you’re gonna be alright

 

Do you ever observe your dreams wipe out?

You’re so sorrowful and you can’t help crying out loud

Riding out the storm seems impossible for you

You’re bound to lose it all, ‘cause you can’t get through

 

Do you ever feel like the world was ending?

You feel like a failure and you’re tired of pretending

Tired of pretending to be someone you’re not

Being here is much harder than you thought

 

Do you ever wish you didn’t exist?

Here’s too much negativity you cannot resist

You can’t keep control of your feelings at all

But think of the people who catch you when you fall

 

“Don’t lose hope, you can do this”, they’re gonna say

And at the end of the day, it’s gonna be okay

They’re gonna help you win every fight

And at the end of the night, you’re gonna be alright

 

Do you ever cry in the shower like a freak?

You feel the tears streaming down your cheek

You wish your nightmares finally drew to a close

You keep running, but you can’t escape all the shadows

 

Do you ever fight battles nobody knows about?

You can’t cope with your insecurities and self-doubt

You remain silent so that they don’t reveal the truth

You hide your struggles so that nobody knows about your hopeless youth

 

Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough?

You go through anxiety and all that stuff

You’re waiting for the next lows to arrive

But think of your loved ones who make up your life

 

They’re gonna make sure all your struggles will fade away

And at the end of the day, it’s gonna be okay

In the dark they’re gonna turn on the light

And at the end of the night, you’re gonna be alright

 

They will help you out of this terrible phase

And turn those horrible times into amazing days

Your full recovery might take a while

But in the end, they will give you back your smile

 

If you keep fighting, you’ll be stronger than you believe

So don’t give up, there’s so much you can achieve

If you don’t lose faith, you can get everything you need

Always be true to who you are and you will succeed

 

It will take you some time to find your way home

But keep in mind, wherever you go, you’re not alone

If you just move on, you can climb a ladder up to the sun

If you never give up, anything can be done

 

At the end of the day, it’s gonna be okay

At the end of the night, you’re gonna be alright

Hallo Laura,

sehr interessant dein Gedicht...

Das lyrische Ich beklagt sich und Stimmen, wie aus einem unsichtbaren Chor trösten es.

Es hört sich fast wie ein Gebet in einer Kathedrale an.

Sehr beeindruckend.

Liebe Grüße

Hello Laura,  Wow!  What a poem!  The raw pain, feeling invisible......unheard.  Being overwhelmed, but fighting your way back. With support; hope.  Positive encouragement. It's hard to be vulnerable and sometimes unsafe. Yet art saves. And yes---  writing is an art form, though some who do not write think we "just string words along.". Poetry is so much more than the written. It is lived wisdom, advice, a lifeline, an outlet, a suggestion, a learning experience, cathartic, pure enjoyment to read and beyond. Thanks for your inspiring poem!  Sincerely,  Donna
