'carefree Me'

Sometimes I wish I didn't care Wish I could just walk away Without feeling like A traitor Without feeling like A quitter They don’t even know My clandestine battles They don’t even know The smile on my face Is my weapon Against the world And it's opinion To be lost Must be awesome at times And to be discovered The reward I sometimes wish I was lost Then I know No one expects me to be a pillar No one expects me to be the rock I sometimes feel I need to be In between all this I miss being The carefree me ©050820141125

Hello there Missy! I sure smiled when I saw that you had a new poem here! And boy oh boy, how I can so relate with you on this one-- it was like you voiced out what I felt (but more succinctly, you know how wordy I can be)-- sometimes, it is somewhat of a comfort to know that there are people who can truly empathize with us. Mwahugs! Also, this somewhat reminded me of this beautiful song, "Warrior is a Child" by a local artist, love this song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm2LGm35MDo
