Poems For The Sad Soul

Poem 49

Yesterday, I cried, until I fell asleep,

I felt like nothing, but a useless creep.

I was thinking about how my dreams shattered,

And how everywhere, my future was scattered.

They won't even let me do things my way,

Why do I listen to everything they say?

I want to live my own life, but they don't approve,

No matter how much I beg them to let me move.

My life is hard with them around,

Because of them, there are no friends to be found.

They can't and won't see the tears I cry,

They don't even notice when to myself, I lie.

Sometimes I wonder if it's for my own good,

But they aren't taking care of me the way they should.

I guess it's over now, for them and for me,

The dream will never come true....the dream of being free.
