Hard Day

Hard Day

10/7/10

Misery loves its company

People tend to say.

Through experience I find this true

As I struggle through another day.

I find the more alone I feel

The more I wish sadness on others

Leaving a sour taste in my mouth

This is a feeling I don’t treasure.

Every day I feel more alone

Like I don’t have friend in the world

But the more I sit in silence,

The more I feel as if I’ve been swindled.

No matter how hard I pretend to be alright,

My soul is full of sorrow,

But I push myself ruthlessly forward

And try so hard not to wallow.

Though I often find I want someone

To reach out and give me a hand

Until the day someone notices me

I’ll puff out my chest and withstand.
