I Promise You

I promise you I care

This I know for sure.

I promise you I’m here

Just maybe not to stay.

I promise you I’m fine

Just in my own way.

I promise you I’m trying

I swear I always have been.

I promise you I’m hanging on

If by just a thread.

I promise you I’m sorry

For all the pain I’ve caused.

I promise you I’ll still be here

I’ll still be here tomorrow.

I promise you I’m fighting hard

Trying to win the war.

I promise you I know

How badly it would hurt.

I promise you I love you

That will never change.

    Distance

    Rain

    Endless nights

    With no end in sight

    I can’t go to school
    I can’t go get my meds
    Why?
    Because sometimes
    It’s too much
    Accepting this world
    Is just too much
    And I just can’t
    Make myself
