Inner Man
Is it time to reassess what’s going wrong
And the reasons why life is often a misery
A tear
A sigh
A pitiful look
That air of despondency
The all consuming fear
Is it only you that can see
What you going through?
Can anyone help you?
Locked inside is the hope
That will help to release you
From a life where woe and despair
Harangues you
Inside is such a turbulent place
You are never at peace
Life seems to be selfishly rearranging you
Hope has abandoned you
Do you feel other peoples indifference?
Does your voice seem to only echo
And never fall on the ears of those
Who might be able to save you?
When?
That’s your biggest question
That never leaves you alone
When will I be happy continually
And feel satisfied with who I am and
Think I should be ?
Life has no manual
Living is about chances taken
Or forced on you
That may work out eventually
No one can tell what is to be
It’s a hard job being strong
When tears blind you
Despair swallows you
And hiding is what you feel
Is best for you
Your journey is littered
With obstacles
Real and imagined
That are bolder than you
And who know everything about you
They grab hold of you
And just wont untangle you
One day you will be free
To realise who you truly are
An Epiphany that might heal you
A burden lifted that lightens you
