Side By Side
by Anthony Holcomb
When I awake at night,
I forget where I am.
Because my mind is lost,
Somewhere in my past…
I can’t seem to remember,
Just what it was that got me to this point.
I can’t seem to remember,
All the anger that put me here…
When my mind finally clears,
I wonder why I awake at all?
Why would i choose to live,
In this hell at all…
Why would I choose,
To even get up each day?
Why would I even,
Take one breath…
