And Time Keeps Going Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

When you're embraced by darkness
And you're scared, gloomy and hopeless

It doesn't seem like day is ever going to come
Instead you're trapped in a time capsule
And everything goes from bad to worse

It doesn't seem like everything
Is ever going to be okay
You're in a fight you're not meant to win

It doesn't seem like ten billion rays of light
Will fight for your attention, one day

Like there will come a time you stop crying
And laugh
Just laugh (luxury)

And there's no hope for breakthrough
Just keep going
Keep holding on
Things will get better
Maybe not tomorrow but they will, soon
