Bitter Truth Poem by Sandhya Joseph

Today I stand lonely and depressed
Not knowing where to go
Not knowing whom to turn to
Not knowing who is true
Not feeling the love and care I want to…

Every time I cry I tell myself
These tears will dry up soon
I will smile again with all my heart
But now I realise…
These are things I just keep dreaming off
Now I realise…
This is the bitter truth of my life
Now I realise…
I was always alone
And I am meant to be
Now I realise…
I am meant to care, never to be cared for
But….
I still keep dreaming…
Dreaming of the day somebody will hold my hand

I wish they weren’t just dreams
I wish a lot of things..
But…
Here I stand alone
Alone I stand again..
Just not knowing where to rest my head in peace..
