Another day

[Pendragon]

ANOTHER DAY

The sun comes up.
The light through my window awakens me.
It’s another day.
Another day of fighting to stay sane.
Another day of struggle to keep this daemon under some control.
(For what daemon can torment like a diseased mind?)
Another day of turmoil, trying to keep mind and body together.
It’s almost a relief when night falls.
Then it’s time for sleep—
Sleep, the brother of Death—
where at last my troubled mind and body can rest.
Then the sun comes up—
It’s another day...

Words wonderfully expressed uncle pen! I must say dat da poem has a melancholy tone which made it more specified..my most favourite line was
"sleep,brother of death-" simply nice.

Most effective the resigned way the ending circles back to the beginning, the interminable beginning.

Taking one day at a time sounds like a cliché, but it might be an effective way to approach living in a troublesome time. By the bye, maybe if you wait long enough the demons will die -- of exhaustion.

Thank you for posting this.

I feel for you Pen. May you reach peace with this. God give you strength.

Thanks to all. Rough time lately, but I am tough and I will survive. :)
