Shattered Dreams Poem by Mary Rodriguez

There's a hidden place I keep unseen
A place that holds the pieces of my shattered dreams
The sorrow it holds has no end in sight
Struggling to make it through one more night
The warmth once felt has turned cold
This place is called my soul
Tired of living a life of heartache and despair
Why is so hard for anyone to care?
Feelings of loneliness; no one hears my cries
The pain I keep buried deep inside
Maybe my life should have never been?
Maybe it's time for this life to end?
I wish someone could just see
I'm not okay with being me
