I am hurt
I am sad
I am in pain
But I smile
Through the pain
But deep down
I am still unhappy
I am confused
I am crying
What's it like to be happy
Is it exciting?
Is it interesting?
Whatever it is,
I am still alone
I am still falling apart
I am still losing everything
Is it okay, if
I am sad still, if
I am in pain still, if
My heart shatters
Is it okay truly
If I am in an alone state
Will I be okay if
I put a smile on my face
What about me
Who is alone?
And confused
And saddened
Will I lose myself?
If I am frowning
Or if I am unsocial
I may be in pain
And unhappy
But I am me
And I am straight forward
With my soul and mind
I am okay
I am going to be strong
I am going to ignore
I am going to cry in silence
I am going to keep to myself
I am alone
And I am choosing to be this way
So now it's time
For me to say
Good bye to the sadness
And say hi to happiness
But I am going to take
Baby steps toward that goal
And finally be me
It will take me on a journey
But it is
A journey
I must go
On by myself
I can't always
Have someone to
Hold my hand
Till the end
This is a journey
For me to take
To find me
And who I am
Not what I am

This is a really wonderful poem of honest and truthful feelings and emotions, what they call raw emotion of stark reality. There is no arguing to counter it, an individual makes a choice and abides by it through life. Finding the strength, hope, faith, taking the journey to become who you truly are. A very commendable life spirit! Wish you the best always. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
