Althia Johns Poems

She closes her eyes as the tears roll down her cheek for the last time
She's grown tired of the pain she's feeling
Tired of always failing... Of not being good enough
She's tired of holding onto the hope of a brighter day
...

I don't really belong here,
I'm not sure I ever really did.
It's just a place I come for shelter...
From the rain, sleet, and snow.
...

You know that moment of release you get from being in the arms of the one you love
That moment they wrap their arms around you
And you just close your eyes
Take a deep breath and smile
...

Everyone wants a happily ever after.
A lot of them are looking for that fairy tale ending.
But me....I just want a simple happily ever after.
I'm not looking to be showered in gifts.
...

Letting go is one of the hardest things to do,
But baby I had to let go of you.
No matter HOW much I loved you.
You did the one thing you said you wouldn't do.
