How Do You...? Poem by Blaze Yang

How do you start to heal
When pain's all you feel?
Week by week, day by day
And it never seems to go away.

How do you stop crying
When everything around you, including your soul, is dying?
To keep people from knowing, a smile you feign
But it's slowly driving you insane.

How do you ever dream
When all you do is scream?
Your misery busting from the seams of life
Making you desperately want to pick a knife.

How do you keep holding on
When all your friends, family and hope are gone?
All your dreams and goals seem like a joke
And the people who claim they love you cant remember a single word you spoke.
