Soon enough

When the noise dissipates, so does my happiness
When the lights are turned off, what was once colorful turns abruptly to white space
Fear visits me as I confront the inevitable arrival of unwanted feelings
Hardened tears grip my heart and begin to  occupy my flesh
Running through my veins it comes quickly
The certainty of uncertainty settles and rocks me
I cannot heal everyone
I cannot inspire everyone
I cannot help everyone
I cannot be perfect for everyone
Filled to the brim, I just close my eyes to disconnect
Yet I always see more with my eyes closed
I lay as still as possible and I wait for calm to come
Light will come soon enough
Hope will come soon enough 
Faith will come soon enough
Love will come soon enough
