Daniel van der Merwe

In the darkest minute I seem to be alive,
When every second I just try to survive.
This situation can get too much at times,
And nothing is as smooth as straight lines.
...

Every day this feeling inside me only grows stronger,
And I don’t know if I can take this any longer.
Missing you is the worst feeling ever,
And it wasn’t like I asked for this, never!
...

This might be the last poem that I write for long,
Just keep smiling and keep being strong.
I know it’s hard but you have to say goodbye,
Keep on going and wipe your eye.
...

Even if the day is not what we’ve suspected,
And we’ve been frequently rejected.

We must not stop trying,
...

I don’t know why I always reach for the things that’s gone,
And everyone always tells me to just keep strong.
But their questions only badger,
Cutting clearly like a dagger.
...
