The Misunderstood

Amid a life of imperative breathing
There lived a girl, her heart was bleeding.
She cared not much for earthly things
Though she yearned relief, from which fulfillment brings.

Such loneliness her soul does feel,
Her heart was crying, no comfort could heal.
She's losing faith at a rapid rate,
For too long she's searched and now she waits.

"If you are out there, hear my cry,
Feel my spirit calling, before I lay down to die."

Natasha, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
