Random Thoughts

Grey clouds taint the sky
Blemishes on a sunny day
Tears well up in my eyes
Then cascades down like rain.
It’s a sunny world out there
My heart whispered...Go explore.
A place beyond your fears
Where none can hurt you anymore.
No need to fake your smiles
Nor to go, all those extra miles
To appease, to please the people
Who never returned your love..
Never to be unsure, of the ground you stood
Nor uncertain, of what lay ahead
Never to be, undermined by ridicule
Nor to cower behind your own thoughts.
A new dawn awaits..Discard your garb
Of a meekness and humility
That the world does not deserve,
Adorn yourself , in a pretence of the bold...

Such courageous words, written in a whisper to begin, then, gradually as the reader reocgnises more of the emotion. Comes the point when will rises to the surface, when you put on a brave face and feel energy taking hold. Your use of language is specific, words, finely laid, your vocabulary more than appropriate except for the use of 'ur' instead of 'your'! Hope your future plans move calmly.
