Hopeless?

Through my smile, no one can see

All this hurt, it’s within me

I try to be happy, really I do

Those hurtful words are my downfall it’s true

Negativity is my shield,

For this heart that just will not heal

These memories I cannot return,

To make new ones it’s about time I learned

Holding on to the past is all I know

Now truly I need help just letting go

of my pain and my doubt,

If I don’t I will shout out!

Pure agony is within me,

I was drowning in a sea,

Of sorrow. Now it is my job,

To pull myself out, no time to sob

I use to feel lonely but I was blinded

Blinded by my own negativity, surrounded!

By those who did not care but I found hope,

By the small amount that showed more than “so?”

I know now I can find happiness

though at times I feel hopeless

Thanks so much for helping me to finally see

There’s more to life than emotional beatings
