What Lies Ahead

It feels like I am lost in life

like someone has stabbed be with the blade of a knife

like the emptiness dwells here and won’t go away

like a character in a drama that I must portray

A future that's happy with laughter and song,

is the place that I long for and is where I belong

yet here I stay stuck in this sorrowful time,

telling my tale in an elegant rhyme

Waiting for the day where I'm not reminded of you,

in every passing moment and in everything I do

To not feel this anger and to not feel this pain,

to reach a level of acceptance to which I can attain

To go on living and not turn around,

where all that's behind me will then crumble down

As I start to build onto what lies ahead,

where my mind will grow and my skin will shed

and then I'll be there holding inner peace,

and the memories surrounding me I then can release

"As I start to build onto what lies ahead,
where my mind will grow and my skin will shed
and then I'll be there holding inner peace,
and the memories surrounding me I then can release"
I enjoyed the poem. I like the use of the shedding of the skin to lose the waste. I like the story in the poem and the strong ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
