Yesterday's Sorrow
If my soul cries out in pain,
will another hear my plea?
Must this happen again, and again?
Will it cease or must I die to be free?
Pain left over from years ago.
Added to what there is now.
Causing my fear to resurface and grow.
Something I swore never to allow.
But I have lost sight, of a hopeful tomorrow.
Hidden behind a wall of doubt.
Bringing forth, yesterday's sorrow,
Why me, I want to scream and shout!
My answer, always the same,
my logic says why not me?
Not special, just another name.
I am struggling just trying to be.
Life is somewhat dictated by fate.
Where compassion has no place.
Extreme emotions, both love and hate.
Holding you in a stone cold embrace.
I have been left to find my way,
alone, with no options left to me.
Having no choice, I have to obey.
What fate casts as its final decree.
