Will

Photobucket
Today my heart is heavy,
as I bow my head in shame,
I search for easy answers,
or someone that I can blame.

The salty teardrops trickle
down my worn and tired face,
symbolic of what my life has been,
a sad and lonely place.

I close my eyes and ponder,
will I ever be free,
will I ever learn to love someone,
will they like the me they see?

How could I not love him;
why was I afraid?
Why did I condemn him,
for mistakes that others made?

The tears they seem endless,
my life flashes before my eyes,
How much longer must I carry,
the weight of this disguise.

I close my eyes and ponder,
will I ever be free,
will I ever learn to love someone,
will they like the me they see?

Will there ever be true happiness
for someone just like me?

Author notes

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is to love and be loved in return.
~ From "Unforgettable with Love" by Natalie Cole
