It's been a long day
long enough to keep me awake,
from the sleep at night
to the peace of the soul.
There are thoughts
yet, I feel empty.
There are people, yet I feel alone.
It's been a long day,
long enough to keep me alive.
Fighting from what I feel,
Fighting for who I am.
There is pain
yet, I smile
There are moments where I choose to be quiet.
It's been a long day,
long enough to make me tired.
From the chaos in my head,
from those unending desires.
I wish to scream
and fear to be unheard.
There are moments I feel like quitting
yet, I am waiting for it to end.
It's been a long day..
