Will someone give me my closure?

Will someone give me my closure?

A Poem by Lillian Burrows

I often look up at the sky,

Spinning, staring, aching, pining,

For a change, for something new,

I’m stagnant and it almost like I’m dying

When I see the world around me,

Walking, breathing, laughing, vibing,

A black, gaping hole in my chest

Is opened, forever expanding


Everyday I sit with others,

Talking, hearing, learning, burning

But I’m still hopeless and alone,

Always waiting for the love I’m yearning


For beginnings and ends, I’m always,

Waking, sleeping, living, dying,

It’s all I know, it’s all I do,

But should I really give up trying?

For something else to take over?

Wishing on four-leaf clovers?

For my hurt to spill over?

Will I know when I’m older?


Will someone give me my closure?

Thank you for the lovely comments!
"It’s all I know, it’s all I do,
But should I really give up trying?"
Sometimes it's just feels like we are doing nothing.

This is good. To me it is the wanting of more when your young. You want that adventure, the anxiety if you will become what you dream, or meet the one that you dream of. It is easy to say calm down,enjoy the moment when your old. Impossible to do when your younger.
