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
