My Story Poem by Lil Sutton

Watching people whiz by.
Wondering what their stories are
Do they laugh or do they cry?

Families on a day out.
Hearing kids joyful laughter.
Couples giving each other knowing looks, no words are needed
A old man walking his dog,
I wonder if that dog is his best friend.

I walk down the road at night and see lit rooms.
What goes on in there I wonder.
Do they struggle?
Or do they get by on love?
My story is about to change
Just waiting to read another page.
No guarantees in life, my precious heart
I’m waiting for my life to restart.

Is being cynical something that is learnt?
Is believing in yourself something that only you yourself can take away?
Looking for answers does no more than find more questions.
In my story i hope I reclaim faith
I hope my story had future happiness
For now this is the end.
