Overcast Heart

Darkness falls, but it doesn’t on me

 And winning is surely my destiny

This is my decision, not just a choice

Because today, I’ve finally found my voice

In my own self, I couldn’t believe

And all I did was sit and grieve

I had lost trust in my dreams and aims

In my talents, wishes, and in certain claims

The oil had died out from the lamp in my head

Like an idiotic fool, I believed in what they said

It was a truth I had forcefully agreed to accept

Like an untrue, burdening, unwanted debt

My feelings themselves were swallowing me whole

Even under the sun, my heart felt so cold

Reasonless darkness, and the overcast sky

Questioned me over and over, but I didn’t know why

And I was hiding from my own self, living in a lie

Where I was alone and stationary like the sky

I thought that I was broken, but I had just bent

And then after that, I don’t know where reality went

My confidence was dead like an old rose

I forgot about the highs and concentrated on the lows

But that’s not what’s happening now, I’m alright

I was the one who lost, but now I’ve won the fight

So sadness, sadness buzz off, go away

And yeah, don’t even come another day

I felt certain images of my life flash by in unison with this poem. Well written. But I'd so much prefer it if the story could have been turned around :)
