No Reason

There is no reason
There is no why
All I want is to curl up in a ball and cry
There is light
There is hope
Yet I keep sliding, spiraling down
I choke it back, swallow it hard
The voice in my head screaming “NO! No! No!”
The light hurts my eyes
My smile lies
The voice keeps screaming
Today I will rise, will put on that smile, will look out of dry eyes
All the time knowing
Feeling the numbness growing
From deep down inside
Without any reason, no discernable why
Tonight when I lay my head down
In the darkness, the quiet, alone with the silence
I will curl up in a ball and smother the cry
