The Hopes of a Lonely Soul

Do you EVER feel like everyone just looks through you? Like no matter how hard you try.......no one is ever going to appreciate you?

This poem is an ode to those times...

I'm screaming but I can't be heard,

I'm walking but I can't be seen.

I'm dancing but there's no applause,

Hoping without dreaming a dream.

I'm laughing but I'm all alone,

I'm crying, there's a dozen more.

I'm falling up, not down below,

I'm shooting down, not up at all.

I'm singing but don't make a sound,

I'm listening but don't hear a growl,

A gnawing pain inside of me,

Dragging me in, pulling me deep.

I whisper time and time again,

To a God, I once believed in.

I tell Him it's still not too late,

He could bless me, His Wondrous Grace.

So I wait, albeit endlessly,

My faith renewing tirelessly.

I wait for a yes, no, maybe,

I bear all the cards dealt to me.
