Sometimes I...

Sometimes I hear voices
telling me what to do

Sometimes I feel sad
watching over you

Sometimes I want hope
to make things right again

Sometimes I want relief
to take away the pain

Sometimes I daydream
of a brighter tomorrow

Sometimes I pray for
no more days of sorrow

Sometimes I feel angry 
like I could damage you

Sometimes I feel subdued
enjoying ignoring you

Sometimes I need love
a cuddle or a kiss

Sometimes I need sex
this is a hit or miss!

Sometimes I wish that
all was happy and well

Sometimes I imagine 
a life of fairytales.

This is a different poem poem from the last with a different technique showing range of style, and celebrating your varied gift. I love the repetition, the alternate rhyme scheme, and the subtle statements that make us identify with you. Great technique.
