When Morning Feels Like Betrayal.
The weight of despair can press upon the soul like an unrelenting shadow, making even the promise of a new day feel like a betrayal. For those who yearn for an end, waking up each morning can feel less like renewal and more like punishment—a continuation of a burdensome existence they long to escape.
Every unwanted dawn is a reminder that hope lingers, not as a comfort, but as an unyielding shadow that refuses to let go.
The nights, cloaked in stillness, offer fleeting hope of release, only for the morning light to unveil the same familiar ache. Yet, within this cycle of anguish lies a quiet irony: the resilience of the human spirit, even when it wishes to surrender. Each unwanted sunrise may not yet bring peace, but perhaps it holds the seed of something unimagined—a chance, however small, for the tides to turn.
Whether it's the comfort of a familiar routine, a kind word from someone unexpected, or the beauty in a sunset, these brief sparks can keep the heart tethered to something beyond the darkness. Hope is nurtured by the persistence to notice these moments, even when everything else feels heavy and unyielding.
It could be that the desire for it to be your last day reflects a longing for relief from overwhelming feelings or pain, rather than a true wish for death. It's a way of wanting an escape from the weight of existence, while still holding on to life. It's not about wanting to die, but about hoping for a break from the struggles that seem endless.
