365 Days of Poetry (Part Two)

Day 54: Everything I Am.

I am kind-hearted and loving.
I wonder what fuels such bitterness in this world.
I hear the silent cries of my very soul.
I see in others, what I lack in myself.
I want to feel free of my own mental prison.

I am sweet-natured and peaceful.
I pretend because in my head, I can escape the pain.
I feel as if to others, I am merely a burden.
I touch the very hearts of those I love.
I worry that for some, I am never enough.
I cry for those who would not do the same.

I am kind-hearted and loving.
I understand that life has many lessons to teach.
I say I feel happy, though not always is it true.
I dream of a time when my heart will feel full again.
I try to look forward, to have hope through it all.
I pray that one day, this sadness will end.
