Finding yourself

Go to sleep?

Go to sleep, you say?

How can one possibly sleep

when they are regretting the coming day?

When all their hope is lost

Like a ship out on a sea

Looking for a forgotten lighthouse

And for help they are beckoning.

Stop the tears?

Stop the tears you say?

How can one stop the tears

When their life has gone astray?

No matter how hard one tries

to get it all back on track,

everything has changed

and it can’t be changed back.

Get used to the new life

Take small steps down the road

Still destined for greatness,

Even if it doesn’t show.

Power through the pain.

Power through the sorrow.

Keep fighting for today.

And your reward will be a tomorrow.

The way to finding yourself in the lines and describing that...to the reader...yet you give a sign of hope and inspiration in the end...

We can see so much of life when we are in solitude and seeing what is happening with life. Well constructed poem, beautifully written, somewhat reminded me of myself.
