“Wither”

Alisa Jiana M. Nguho

Updated: Jul 22, 2021


I used to wake up looking forward to things I wanna do,

Things that keep me going without feeling blue,

It’s today when I felt like life isn’t worth living,

Realizing I’ve turned to someone I dislike to be —

a deadman walking.

I used to be carefree and delighted in all I could,

Wondering why all this hurt is deserved by someone good;

And the more I question life the more I get to see,

Happiness isn’t certain just because I’m free.

I’ve been fervent into not giving in and not giving up,

But hell I badly need a break from these problems that won’t stop,

And if in time you find me with my smile again,

I’ve finally set myself loose—

goodbye and ‘til then.
