Why I Look Ahead Poem by Diego Adrian Manriquez

Please open my eyes
And let me see
Why am I doing this
And why I can't be set free

Depressions got me stuck in this hole
And it's hard for me to breathe
And your hand's grasped around my neck
With the pressure of you wanting me to succeed

Hurts more than the fact that there's nothing you can do to save me
Walk away from the world
And shut this hole called heart
When I thought the future was supposed to get better

I got attached to the past
Never wanted to let go of that moment, I snapped
Fell to my knees and gave up
As I closed my eyes staring at the sun

I saw hands out of the corner of my eyes
And familiar faces began to shape
And that's when I realized I was never alone
