Hidden Love Poem by SARAH A. STRUSZCZYK

Trying to figure out my life
Trying to figure out what I truly want
Can’t seem to do anything right
And the mistakes I make only come back to haunt
What is love?
Does it even exist?
Do you really fall in love?
With the very first kiss
Romance plays in fairy tales
It’s non existent in my world
Don’t know what it is to be swept off my feet
I’m just your normal average girl
Standing behind the shadows
Hiding in my own hurt
Fading away every passing minute
Feeling lower than dirt
Reaching out for something
Or someone to set me free
Lost and filled with the nothingness
That makes up what’s inside of me.
