Can’t Accept This Nightmare
by Maritza Sanchez
I wake up every day hoping this isn’t real.
It’s hard to understand what I’m going through
and how I feel.
I believe this is not the life I chose.
But one thing is that the Lord only knows.
I’m tired of all the crying;
it’s hard, and it’s gonna get harder, but I’m really trying.
Why can’t this be a nightmare and be all fake?
There is only so much pain I can actually take.
I don’t know if I can hold these tears inside any longer.
Around my mom, I tend to be so much stronger.
I still can’t accept that this is reality.
I’m sure it’s because of my crazy mentality.
I guess it’s because bad things constantly happen,
so I just see them as bad dreams.
Almost as if it’s a normal thing –
that’s how it seems.
But I believe that great things
happen to those who wait.
I have great hopes, and miracles can happen –
it’s never too late.
