The Story Of My Life - poem

The Story of My Life

Have you ever wondered
what it is like to live this life
like a dreamer
with no dream to follow
feeling empty
but not complitely hollow

I want to be brave
I want to dare
but most of all
I don't want to have these days
when I'm too tired to care

It's so much easier
to help others than to help myself
so I pretend that I'm fine
that's the story of my life

There are those days
when I just cry
there are those moments
I don't have the strength to try
but I get by
I put on a big, big smile
it's just a masquerade
which makes me feel safe
until I feel like myself again

I can be a guiding light
to everyone else
but I'm as clueless
what comes to myself
what are my scars when others bleed
so I forget what I want, what I need
so here I am, on the ground
wishing someone would pick me up

They say that only the strong will survive
I've always wanted to feel alive
so I pretend that I'm fine
that's the story of my life

I wrote this poem few days ago. I can wrote happy poems when I'm sad and sad poems when I'm happy. This one... well, I just wrote it. That was not the greatest day in my life, but it was not the worst, either. Read what you like from it.
