A Change Is Coming

Trap in the shadow,

Shadow of my past life

Can’t let go of the things,

Things that made me happy

It is you that I still want

 

And I’m still tangled up inside

My heart is in misery

Still I can’t let go of you

Can’t let go of the hurt that you brought into my heart

The way you left me unspoken in silence

Fill with emptiness in my heart

 

You just don’t know that you’re my dream

My dream that will not come true anymore

So I just boxed that dream

Boxed it so that it will not spill

So that I will not be dreaming for that dream anymore

 

I want to be free from this hurt

But I still love you

So now I’ll let you go and be happy

Even it hurts inside

If that what it takes to be free from this pain

I’ll do it and change my lonely life

 

I know a good change is coming in my life

To change that dream,

That abandoned dream of mine

To dream again

To be free again.

A change better come and it better come soon and I don't get mad easily, but all the racism keeping people from each other makes me sick. And you know if someone tells me I can't hang out with someone, because of how they look...I'm going to go out on a limb! I love this you did a good job keep it up!

So much emotion in this. A raw, sad and well written piece.

[Jas Alejandrino Ramos]

i was really in the state loneliness when i wrote this poem but i still moving on

[Ed Hart]

yes, if someone wants release, that's the end of it, except for the long slow pulling the roots of them from our heart; but, that's the way it's done...and those who can't do it, just stand there and die

Wow, the power of dreams huh? Absolute freedom. Nicely written.

[Vicky Zhuang Yi-Yin]

This was a very hope driven poem, I must say, just some grammatical errors here and there, but I'm not counting. But I must tell you that these errors are causing a break in the flow of your poem. read through it, you'll get what I mean.
About the theme: It is definitely hope driven, and looking at the positive side of the thing, which is good. Since there are more of those dark poems out there in the interwebs than these hopeful ones. Great job.
