Feeling blue

The sky forgot to shine today,
Its silver turned to gray.
No birds to sing the dawn awake—
Just silence in dismay.

My coffee lost its warming touch,
The mirror frowned back too.
No rhythm in the morning rush—
Just echoes feeling blue.

The laughter of the world feels far,
Like stars behind a veil,
And every step I take alone
Leaves footprints frail and pale.

But still, I know the tide will turn,
That clouds will drift away,
And from this ache a strength may bloom—
A brighter shade of day.

For even blue, in deepest hue,
Can hold a spark of light—
A gentle truth the heart still knows:
Some blues belong to night.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
