I Forgot The World Today

I forgot the world today- And I lived inside myself,

There’s not a word I can say- To describe the good I felt.

All the pain had ceased real quickly- As I explore my inner being,

Every demon out to get to me- Can’t harm me if they can’t see me.

All the bad that exist in life- I left it all behind,

I took a break from my fight- To enjoy a little me time.

Not one bad thought crossed my brain- I just sat there observing,

Momentarily forgot about my pain- And I saw the other’s hurting.

I stared the world in the eye- And I held my own ground,

Not one thought of wanting to die- I heard not one sound.

I stared my father in the eye- And I saw the pain feels,

It seemes almost that he’d cry- But I know that wasn’t real.

I watched my mother make her way- Walking in severe pain,

She looked at me but didn’t say- Not a single word or my name.

I forgot about my struggle- As I could only hope to make their’s leave,

I’d increase my pain by double- If I could make their hurting cease.

I forgot about myself today- As I watched others fight,

I lived inside myself today- As I watched others’ life.
