In the darkness (a lamentation)






I stick out like
a single dry weed
pushing its limits
erupting through
cracked black asphalt  

I stand out side
my front door
wishing
for just a little more
courage

I hide my sighs
behind the shade
hoping
for darkness to cover
my shame

chorus:
No, I don’t know who I am anymore
though, not for lack of trying.
I don’t know what I am anymore
That’s why you see me crying

refrain:
A feeble light
the fading glowing dream
shines above
carries me to a home
I’ve never known.




Author notes

there's a tune here somewhere, that might fit - not a light airy thing, more like an old muddy folk song in 3/4 time.

    I Could So RelateTo This One

    Excellent Song,

    No, I don't now who I am anymore
    though, not for lack of trying.
    I don't know what I am anymore
    That's why you see me crying

    Oh my own personal jounrney of life still sheds so many of tears... even though I continue on this journey because,

    A feeblelight
    the fading glowing dream
    shines above
    carries me to a home
    I've never known.

    For me this mean the complete home of my ownself. Embraced with love and no more shame. Yes as you said I personally continue to try. Such a lonely difficult road to walk. Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul.
    Many Blessings
    Much Love
    Kelle Marie
