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.

Encouraging piece, we tend to look at the now and get caught up in the moment, when all we need to search for is a better tomorrow...nicely done!

[Clay Feet]

Do you think that perhaps we all seem like we don't belong anywhere, sometimes? I know I do. I like the way you reflect in this piece, yet your use of a note printed on your heart as a reminder of a better tomorrow is a positive end and uplifting.

Wonderfully evocative piece.

This story inspires us all to find our own inner hero...and find our own song.
I love the was she rises up to take control of her destiny. You have given us
a front row seat to the most important type of growth a human will enter.
