Beyond The Sea Poem by Ruth Rayment

Beyond the sea
I know I can be
Everything I want to be

I crave for success
I only want the best
But i can’t see that happening
Not for me

I can see me falling
Before I even know
I can’t pick myself up
I’m scared
I feel alone

Whilst I sit
Whilst I’ll moan
I know

There is potential
Inside of me
The things I write
I know I see

Beyond these walls
There is more to me
I hide away
From life

It’s true
I knew
That inside
I’m walking a mile
In some one elses shoes
Never enquiring why?
