I Too
I too have cried a river full of hurt filled tears.
I too have felt the weight of the world and acquired a few fears.
I too have doubted my full potential.
I too have lovingly lost a beautiful soul.
I too saw an image in the mirror I didn’t recognize.
I too have sat for hours and listened to the lies.
I too shattered my own heart at the weakness of another.
I too have fell short in the meaning of forever.
I too have gathered thoughts that I knew were untrue.
I too masked my true feelings when I didn’t know what else to do.
I too wandered lonely dark roads.
I too have scars of stories untold.
I too wanted to be loved and accepted.
I too found myself in a world that was corrupted.
I too slowly picked at a hurt after it scabbed.
I too ran back to the pain although it made me sad.
I too was lost and not sure which way to go.
I too wanted the smile I wore to have an honest glow.
I too ran my fingers thru my hair and felt sick to the core.
I too wanted to believe the love that was really there.
I too would dismiss the help people would offer.
I too hid the damage in my minds own shelter.
I too crumbled.
I too dissolved.
I too was you a story untold.
I too had enough.
I too had to find strength.
I too had a dream that on it I would bank.
I too shed tears of relief.
I too saw beauty in disbelief.
I too struggled to pick myself up.
I too wanted to give up.
I too saw the sun rise.
I too felt my heavy eyes.
I too was once a 'you'.
