my true self
Someday
Dark thoughts invading my brain
I want sunshine not rain
I think of things I'm grateful for
but still the sadness is in my core
I cannot weep
I cannot cry
My very soul just wants to die
I've lived this way too many years
I am completely devoid of tears
My thoughts, my hopes have turned to fears
My laughter now is only jeers
Still I find I reach for the rainbow
I reach for the sun and bask in its glow
I tell myself some day this will end
My true self will emerge and again be my friend
About this poem
I was thinking about the life I presently have and the life I envisioned for myself and still hope for. this poem came out of that
