A Time For Hope

I am not what is seen
I hold in the deeper things
My heart holds his strong lock and key
And pitiful regret chiefly sings.

The sun is yet to be realized
And the moon is only a shadow
I am what night constructs
In the stolen hope of a broken tomorrow.

I fight and I toss into calamity
Realized emotions that go untamed
My soul sown together in ugly fashion
And left unnamed.

What is all of this for?
With only empty worth
I look into the torn open sky
For new idea’s birth.

I will strongly await my delivery of peace
And I may learn how to be scrupulous.
The risk upon an independent prayer
Does so yield a soul renewed and victorious.

Pretty powerful muse.... I think many poets know exactly what you are saying, and may have many of the same feelings too.
