Dear Me, Sorry

Pioneering for greatness,

in the air so thick.

Suffocated and aimless,

due to a translucent wall of brick.

Shut them out!

Shut them out!

The devious wall speaks to me.

Let nothing out!

No, nothing out!

It wants no-one to see.

Who will I be,

If I don't let myself be free?

Nobody will hear my plea.

No, not even me...

Burdening myself,

with such futile matters.

Losing myself,

Watching my happiness scatter.

Am I simply,

determined by my genes?

Do I alone,

Create these unpleasant scenes?

How could I be,

so terribly mean?

To the one and only,

to the you that is me.

A bit on the darker side, but I suppose we are all a little dark at times. Because life is in fact not always rainbows and butterflies but rather compromising moves; almost like an unfair game where it's one step forward and two steps back. It makes us all rather frustrated, and I must say I relate to this poem rather well. A wonderful write, thank you for sharing.

Captain Kirk this is a lovely, bittersweet poem. The rhyming and flow are perfect making it a very enjoyable read. "To the one and only, to the you that is me." I love that... Well done and Thanks for sharing. :)
