I'M Not Crying About Today.... Poem by Lesa MRK

I'm not crying about today,
I am crying about the past...
Which has swept my soul away.

Each tear holds a sliver of pain,
Held deep within my heart...
And the hiding of emotions,
Is always done in vain.

Someday, I'll have to let go,
Of the hurting deep within.
Those heartaches always show.

I can wish upon a star,
And pray for a change....
Yet I know it cannot take me far.

I must reach out for peace,
Make a mark upon my life,
To bring happiness into reach.

I have to struggle toward my goal,
And never run away,
Or I just might be the lonely fool.

I can't let go of tomorrow,
There's always a way.
I must keep on trying,
And speak what my heart has to say.
