A Place To Belong

When living in this world becomes over powering!

Her brain is a scale tilting

from side to side.

Weight of fear hangs

low like clouds in the sky.

Weakness from days to come

flow through her veins

in the place of her crimson blood.

Confusion leaves a bitter taste.

Life has over taken her mind.

 

The world as she knows it

causes her to feel gauche.

She wonders where she fits in?

Who she is?

And who does she want to be?

Plain, simple and unknown

crash her personality.

 

Everyday the track she takes

is disappointing and makes her addle.

She lives like a blind person,

never knowing where she is.

She's lost and longs to be found.

 

As she looks into her mirror

of tomorrows future

reflections of better days appear.

She makes a covenant

with her inner self to be

teasured, loved and to belong

in a world that has become a

stranger to her.

 

Avid that she can change

her breathing becomes easy.

Pressure evaporates into

yesterdays that cannot return.

Her low self esteem packed up,

and a new her unwrapped.

 

She vavles to be adamance,

never return to broken dreams.

Fueled with a new ego

she's ready to live.

 

Note printed in her heart,

to remind her tomorrow

is another day.

Loved the way you bring out the inner conflict and self judgement. The resolve to accept herself and go forward is uplifting and encouraging to all us misfits that have been trying for decades...LOL

[trainwreck]

This was really good! It felt like a disconnected and connected write, almost as if you were narrating the life of someone close, but not yourself. A very strong tale and great choice of words.

Deep and wide and real. Felt every syllable. Well written piece.
Cheers!

[Loner]

Really touching and heart felt!

Very nice, yes we often tend to linger on the yesterdays and forget that tomorrow is another day. A new day.
Love this encouraging piece.

[Art Sun]

nice work...this life is a heavy burden, and when we find that there is nothing that can break us down...we begin to live...

[Tina Kline]

Very nice. Going from the painful dark of yesterdays within to change her world for today and tomorrows on the outside. A very positive and hopeful poem. Very nicely done.

[Brad]

wow! you've really summed this up well, that inner war we all fight when it comes to matters of the heart...that darn mind always gets in the way

ooo nice and encouraging - leave the burdens and weight of yesterday behind and revel in the new ego - new-found life - freedom of spirit and person when one lets go of the past to embark on a future - tomorrow is indeed another day and yesterday is unalterable! nice!

Excellent words of advice composed with a poetic insight. I genuinely loved this. It has such a uplifting message. It almost guarantees hope and that tomorrow you can always start life anew.
