Everyone's Fight



Dancing with my emotions
While cradling my heart.
Like a tidal wave from the ocean
When did this all start.

Wounds that seem to never heal
But no one sees what I feel.
Laugh it up and smile big
Hide the hurt that they all did.

Memories that do me wrong
To persevere will take too long.
If I go or if I stay
It matters none at end of day.

There is no right
There is no wrong
Only perceptions
Ugly song.

You fooled me once
You fooled me twice.
Then you wonder
Why I only act nice.

Give it time
You'll wear me down..
I try so hard
To stand my ground.

My will is slipping
My mind grows weak
But HURRY! HURRY!
You unstable sheep!!

Walk, then run
But do not speak!
A life in shambles
Past it's peak.

I love to laugh
But I hate to cry
DON'T LOOK AT ME!!!!
Just pass on by.

Give me a minute
To gather my thoughts
I'm under duress
Yet you continue to press.

Awaken my beauty
You're complete and all done
You gave it your all
And had a good run...

    This poem stuck with me. I can relate to the message. Isn’t that what’s supposed to happen.
